yes you would have enough time just about. The marathon sets of from the main ring and finishes in the main ring followed straight after by the cones course. You do not need extended axels as they dont even measure the width of the cones and groom your groom can stand. | ||

So would I be able to do the exercise vehicle class then the drive? And have enough time to get changed in the middle?! | ||

I competed at Bowes Show last year and everyone just wears marathon coloures to do the marathon and then the cones course follows afterwards in the main ring. Before the marathon the private driving class and the excercise classes are judged and these are to be shown as you would for BHDTA dressage and cones. | ||

Ann Varley asked me to post this on her behalf... "I have judged at Bowes Show and can help her with her question. It's a lovely, very rural, old fashion show which also has a most interesting drive. Cross country it is and in that I mean top of the Pennines. It's certainly not a park drive and when wet it is very wet. I would recommend Kathleen to go, even if for the pleasure of the views, incredible countryside and something totally different. The company would be good too. It's rather a social outing with rosettes! Some competitors bring 2 vehicles, other just what they have. It's that kind of show and the organisers would welcome the entry. That's not far from where I used to live and work. Ann" | ||

Has anyone driven at Bowes Show? Here's the class explanation from the schedule- I know it's BDS but was wondering if I could go in with three phase carriage and synthetic harness as I would for dressage and cones? Was thinking that it would be a useful trip out for my boy before his next HDT in September.
