OOoh can Jig and I do this I wonder?? I will practise and try and get us entered but don't have anywhere set up in the paddock as yet. Will see if I can borrow a school and get working on this!?!

Jenny, it doesn't matter how smart or unsmart your working area is. If you use a paddock, with bricks or something as your markers, that's ok. IH is about working with what you've got, so if you've got a paddock, then work with it!

[Jenny A and Jigsaw]

Thanks Liz. How right you are! I normally long line round our fields so that's where I'll do it. Am going to the Garden Party and then out tomorrow so will have to try and get this filmed in the week...should be fun!

[Louise C]

Sounds about right (I think!). You can't tell how often I do dressage, can't you!!!

Just in case it isn't exactly the same at all, how about if I say that no one will be penalised for using either of the above formats. Sound fair?

[Jenny A and Jigsaw]

Does it matter if we get someone to call this out for us?!?! I haven't EVER done a dressage test and don't reckon I'd remember all this!! Lol!

[Deleted]

That's absolutely fine, Jenny.

[jennyb]

What's the deadline for entries? Gazdag isn't longlining just yet but I'm hoping he will be in the next few weeks. We won't be very polished though, lol!

[Deleted]

27th July, Jennyb. Does that give you enough time?

Next question from... jenny c?

[jennyb]

Er, possibly. I'll see. Do we get extra points for pesade/spanish walk? He did one of the two behind me on the way to the field today, didn't see which!

[Zoe RA]

Hey, come on you guys, quit the talking about it and get Longlining Only 12 days to go

Nobody will get any points at all unless you submit your vids ;D ;D

It's all for a good cause ;D

[Jenny A and Jigsaw]
