Ooh I love the photos. We had a problem with the trailer on the way to the yard so we couldnt go. I was so disappointed, it was such a lot of preparation but in the end I couldnt put a horse in a trailer I knew wasnt quite right.
I love the action shots of Sarah and Ramak! You all look very professional. Which one are you doing next then?

Oh Julia, how disappointing!! Better to be safe than sorry though. What are you doing next?
Yup as Sarah said, hoping to do 32km Novice CR at Firle Park I honestly cannot wait
Forgot to say, Henry really enjoyed the day and he's already offered to come along to Firle - crew in training |

Firle is lovely - its sort of between Lewes and Eastbourne on the South Downs. Big climb up the downs then some nice grassy canters, back down the hill and a long trot home. Its more challenging than Windsor though because of the hills, and some of the going can be a bit flinty if you are not used to it, also plenty of gates on the Downs which there arent in Windsor Park. Its a two day ride too so you can do either day. I cant do this because I'm doing a 'bridlerides' weekend but planning to enter Ashdown Forest if I'm not too late which is 8th Aug. So glad you are planning to do more. Are you planning to take Eric, Nadia? Yes thanks Sarah, trailer now fixed. There was something wrong with its brakes so every time I braked it banged into the tow bar.

Looks like you all had a wonderful time!
Both Ashdown and Firle Park are lovely rides but both are a bit stoney so you might have to take it easy over the stoney sections.
We won't be @ Ashdown Forest, but are entered for the 2-day 160km ER @ Firle Park so may hopefully see some of you there? |

Sarah, Lauren - always happy to crew for you, am going to crew for my friend at the rides she does so long as they dont clash with showing. If I'm there just let me know times and checkpoints and i'm all yours
Cant make the 12/13 september as showing but will definately join the rides for next season on Erik, so long as I can join in with someone as it may be a bit daunting on my own for the first go |

there will always be people around that will be able to help (Ride with)
Another way of learning about the sport is to join a local group and go on a training / pleasure ride.
