hey - i've recently done my first WH, it was very good!!

Ideally go and watch a few classes before you go ahead and do 1 yourself... It involves a course or rustic fences (jumped in order), if you go clear you are guaranteed into the 'next round', this is a group showing... then you get called into order etc... then an individual show (have a show piece of little walk, trot, canter and 'extended' canter (gallop - but only a few strides).... then the placings!!!

See now why I said to watch!!! do a novice class 1st (it will have non-novices in but don't let them scare you!!!) just remember to be calm and salute the judge after your course of jumps and after your show piece....

I hope this helps you x

Thanks. I've decided i'd bettter not enter. for a while.
(Rebel believes that 'Rustic' fences have scary monsters in them and we MUST bolt away as fast as possible.)
At the moment i have a horse with:
4legs
4Hooves
And 3 shoes.

Oh wonderful! :P And the farrier isn't coming for 2weeks.

Anyway. Rebel is Now Fat, Under worked and Fairly unbalanced.

But we now have a Clicker again!! And we are learning tricks while we wait for the Shoe! :D
