Right, I'm planning on doing some cross country with Cleo soon, and I have a few questions.
First of all I want to get more confident hacking etc before I do it, but does anyone know any nice places around Nottinghamshire/Derbyshire with reasonably small jumps that are friendly and suitable for a novice horse and rider?
I think we'd both benefit greatly from it, Cleo is really enjoying her jumping and I need to let her experience it more often, and not just little show jumps in the arena. I think I'd feel a lot more confident in cross country rather than showing fences, I'm not sure why it just seems more like my kind of thing, not necessarily big fences but natural, fun fences like logs and water and stuff
Not really sure what this thread is getting at :redface: But do you think it'd be good to invest in a body protector aswell?
