Pentathalon

I've just been watchin some pentathalon on tv (Shooting, Swimming, Fencing, Showjumping and Running). Those people are amazing. They are randomly given a horse to ride, given 20 mins to get to know it then go jump a SJ course of about 3ft 6" some of the horses were really good and helped the riders out...and others did not want to know. Same with the riders some were nice but one man was giving his horse a crack with the stick before each jump

I would not want to do a big course of SJ on a horse i knew let along one i didn't! not to mention i'd be pooped from all the other activies.

one of the instructor son's from pony club had qualified for the olympics doing this i had a go but i can't run and am very scared of guns lol and i can't jump on savvy let alone something i don't know. they really are quite good but i bet they're knackered after doing that

id be useless i wouldnt mind the riding strange horses or the shooting , but i swim as good as a fish can walk , and the running would do me in for good
