Mmm I'd agree on the toughness front - fit horses = fun time whatever the terrain. ANd you don't need fantastic facilities to get horses really fit either. |

Goodwood was fantastic,well done to the organising team. As for the toughness, it won the day for me and the 13 hand pony I drove as he is fit ! I vote to keep the tough marathon, fitness was the winner that day ! |

Glad you all enjoyed it. Obviously the wet weather before the event made for 'dead'going which didn't help with the hills. We just wanted to let you know that, whilst clearing up last weekend, we racked our brains for a way to change things around to make the course easier and we think we have a plan. It will mean missing out on a bit of variety and some views but that's the price we have to pay! Sara & Andrew |
