In my school days, I rode hunter jumper for 7 years, jumping up to 4.2 fences. Unfortunately the money ran out and I had to stop. Ten years later, I have money of my own and want to start again. But this time, I want to give eventing a try. My thought is to work on getting my skills back with a trainer with an eye towards investing in a horse in about a year or so when I know what I need and how I want to progress.

Aside from finding a good trainer, what advice can you guys give me for getting in shape and building back up my skills. I'm also interested in getting more info on how the levels progress.

Thanks everyone.
