Looks like I need to get some entries in!  Eventually, we would like to include some commentary on the events, such as “this is a great move-up: very flat and straightforward” (Rocking Horse I, or Full Gallop Feb) or ‘if you try to move up here, this event will tear you to pieces in the first 3 minutes: built on the side of a hill, huge, and technical’ (Historically, Red Hills, although I wouldn’t be surprised if this year’s track is considerably more benign.  You also might want to have a backup in mind if you register for Red Hills.  There are a lot of people who are staying away from this one and they could have trouble getting enough entries).  That kind of thing.  If you have comments about some of these events, please leave them in the comment section and I will move informed and insightful comments to the homepage entry itself, so that everyone may benefit.  Hope this was helpful, go eventing.
