Start-time

[glenatron]

Our test is at 9:16 on Saturday. Extrapolating back that suggests we should be on-site for 8:16 to allow for checking ourselves in, Zorro being a tit, tacking up, warming up and being generally prepared. That suggests we should be away from the yard by 7:45 which suggests in turn we should be at the yard for about 6:45.

So, how do I achieve this without compromising my Saturday morning lie-in?

Also, does anyone know where my dressage clothes are? I could find them perfectly well before we moved house...

You go to bed early enough the night before that you wake at 6 and simply cant sleep any longer.
hope youve learned your test!
whereabouts is the show?

It's in Tilford (http://www.trrc.co.uk).

I've got a fair idea of the test, had a little run through this evening ( we've only practiced the whole thing a couple of times, for the obvious reasons ) and only forgot one thing, so hopefully will be alright.

You can draw yourself an arena on paper and run through it that way. Or mark out a rectangular space in your yard and walk it. (I tend to "practice" tests with a finger in the air in front of me while I'm walking to work, though mostly only in the mornings because I start early enough for there not to be too many other people on the street to look at me like I'm a crazy person.)

I have it sketched out in my vector graphics app of choice, which has really helped a lot especially as it really shows the ways in which the test is symmetrical.
