I'm sitting here filling in my SNEC entry for dressage in just over a week.
I'm doing P10 but I had hoped to possibly also do my first Novice test - novice 20.
RI thinks we would be worth giving it a try but I've never done a novice before, not had a look at the test yet and also don't have an arena to school in so other than the 2 trips to my friend yard to use her school I won't be able to school him in preparation.
Do I just enter and do it for the experience - first time will be a mess no matter how much I prepare due to nerves and there are certain movement that we'll not manage OR do I wait until the next month or so when we'll have a new 60 x 20 arena at my yard and then prepare properly?
What do we think??
I'm thinking of just doing the prelim but wonder if I'm copping out a bit!
