I’m vaguely considering the LF 3day for the fall. For years it has been on my bucket list, and I finally have a horse qualified. But it’s also an intimidating prospect for someone who usually shows locally and alone. For those who have done it, I have a few questions:
Was it a worthwhile stand-alone experience, given that it doesn’t really fall into today’s FEI structure anymore?
How did you put together a support team–did you look for people already going, or recruit friends?
How much more challenging was the D phase than the typical XC for the level? Would you recommend doing a lower level? (My horse is qualified at P, but could also do M or T)
Thanks for any thoughts. I’d need to step up our program pronto!
