I have found my brave pants and at Gleneagles of all places. As well as the hotel and golf course they also have a super swanky equestrian centre and a XC course. I had been to an open day there with Chompy. I was supposed to be taking Brave but he pulled a shoe off the day before, and last weekend I did manage to take Brave complete with 4 shoes to their Hunter trial. I did my very first 75cm XC competition. We got round, didn't come last and narrowly managed to avoid running over some spectators as Brave decided to go off piste a couple of times. We had a few refusals but overall really pleased as the jumps were bigger and it was somewhere he had never been. While he napped a couple of times he was easy enough to turn round and get going in the right direction. Then we got lapped by the horse who went on to win and Brave was not having that.... From no go to no brakes... Oh well a tad scary but he was then really taking on the jumps and they were small enough not to cause any real problems! www.onlinepictureproof.com/sinclairphotography/albums/equestrian_events_2015/514907_201921/browse/244/?w=747&h=473A nice pic here
