Just wondered who is going and what ya doing? We are hopefully coming although a bit worried about how the ground is up there? Will the show be in the same fields as last year out the back over the bridge? Meant to be coming to do the novice workers but the ground is so hard just wondered what it's like up in wales please???

Were about an hour and half away and had rain for the last 3 days so ground has some give in it.
Were taking a D stallion for inhand and possible riddens, D 2yo Colt and 3yo coloured mare. Possibly might take my new one up for the inhand and possibly a ridden class if my knee is up to that much canter work

Question - How does the rain manage to tip it down on the east side of the Bristol channel, yet not reach the west side then guys? or is it just "lets dump on Medwin's side of the river".
It has poured here!

We have had loads here too Medwin but it seems to have slipped off the top at Broomes! I honestly couldn't believe how hard it was. Mind you the MGA we're happily galloping around on the bottom rings. Suppose we "showing folk" are perhaps a bit carefull with our babies! It's rained lightly here today but with temps rising for the weekend to 24 I can't see there being much give in the going. Perhaps they'll water for a few days to get it right? We have Bath & West on thurs, wonder what the going is like there?

are any of the rings on a surface or all on grass. We are supposed to be coming with a C and a D. Will be C's first show after being off since December, so would hate to break her again

im hoping they will be on a surface not over the train track-.- it's ALWAYS really dry and hard over there so im debating if i am going to do the novice workers or not:/ just have to wait til the day:) but am hopfully going to do the ridden Welsh ridden championship class on my C so am looking forward to it:D Bath and West was very hard in the Eco ComfyBed Ring but i just sticked to the inside track but that was a huge ring so on sunday i doubt i will be able to do that:/
