Ok all the mega rich eventers are flying off to beautiful holidays around the world so here is a less expensive way of keeping the Eventing flame going in No Eventing November!
1. Watch Downton on TV to try and spot the XC jumps from the defunct Highclere Horse Trials. So far I have spied the giant step down at the top of the hill.
2. Look at your horse and dream what he will look like in those posh stables at Badminton even though your not even qualified........yet!
3. Sell all your unwanted equine items on Ebay, bids on my unwanted BE prizes are up to £45. Thats half a BE entry fee, but sadly bidding on Ebay is almost as addictive as Eventing. So I better add to this point - ban yourself from bidding on Ebay!
4. Buy a 2013 diary and write all the BE 2013 dates in it, sooooooo exciting. Then tell all your family and friends you won't be able to make it to their Birthdays, Christenings, Weddings etc due to Eventing Commitments. Although Christmas Day is probably OK.
5. Go looking for bargain designer clothes in Oxfam that might get you in Eventing Mag for looking amazing at a trot up.
6. Pray for NO SNOW.
7. Dream of an amazing 2013 season, double clears, twenty something dressage, wonderful rides XC, winning everything and being interviewed by both Horse and Hound and Eventing.
8. While watching Downton (or Corrie) sit on a fitness ball, feet off floor, heels down and hands holding pretend reins, if you can stand the jelly legs afterwards your core stability is going to be the best there is by March.
9. Plan your countdown to your first event, lessons, training and competitions right up to that first BE event when your knees go weak with excitement as you drive into the lorry park onto real grass and see the dressage and the SJ and walk the XC course.....Eeeeeeeeek!
