I agree. I would also suggest that seeing top level international single horse and pony classes could provide insipration to those coming into the sport - it is far easier to see yourself driving a single than a team. Singles can look very spectacular too! Perhaps if Windsor can't take the other classes, then we could have another venue take those, at a different time of the season? Germany, for example, runs a very successful international just for single horse competitors at Dillenburg. Having an annual or even bi-annual single horse and pony international, attracting the cream of Europe and our own talent pool would be quite an attraction. Would an event run along commercial lines, purely for single classes (and maybe paris), be viable? Perhaps when cash is a bit more abundant this might be something worth investing in? | ||

Just got back from the show, a very good day out BUT this is the ONLY international driving event that GB holds, is it not time that the BHDTA saw to it that all advanced classes are represented there. When we struggle as a nation to do well on the international scene, isn't it time we were all allowed to gain valuable experience here rather than having to go abroad? |
