Here in East Anglia I try to rotate classes - and drivers - for the reasons Wendy describes... however I need to schedule the club class and juniors so they won't share the warm up arena with multiples - for greater peace of mind (!). Take a look at the entries: 18 out of 35 are sharing something, which makes it interesting trying to schedule people so that they have time to warm up for P&P - at least 45 minutes - and won't be scrambling in and out of harness/carriages between cones and obstacles. It usually takes me about six attempts (then someone phones up to cancel or change class, inevitably). So far this season the first class has been Open Horse, Open Pony, Junior and Novice Pony. I'm open to suggestions, Wendy! (Why not use the entry list from the latest event and come up with your dream schedule and send it to me?) Thank you for your input! p.s. I also want some more entries for Roger Alway's obstacle design competition! | ||

Here in the South East we rotate the classes at each event, so no one is always starting at 8.30am and no one is always late leaving the event, and everyone gets to watch everyone else and all enjoy the whole event. It would be good if all events were run this way but it is up to the event organiser to organise the days schedule. | ||

Although it is nice to get done and over, it is also nice to be able to watch a few classes, so you can look at everyones choosen routes (Cheat maybe)Maybe the classes should rotate so everyone gets a chance to lay in bed, or be there while its dark and cold? Anyway hopefully everyone has forgotten how hard I made it look to get one pony round, while Brian Burton moves his large horses round quickly and without penalties. Also how does Brian teach his horses to do that amazing jump toghether to miss cones. Well done Brian |
