We will be making a donation to the road safety campaign in honour of their memory.
Lauren Innes and Camee de Muze completing his first Novice, seen here at the A1 Loos double of brushes.
This fence caused a few issues, the feedback from the riders who had a problem was that they under-estimated the "revs" needed at the top of the mound and underrode, then meaning they had to scrub at the top of the mound and got too close to the V. Demonstrated below the fence rode well with maintained power to the V and horses could choose 3 or 4 strides down the slope with equal success. The iron stone on landing helped with grip and shortening, rewarding the bolder rider. However with rain all evening so far tomorrow is another day! Good luck to the Novices and Ints tomorrow!
