The JR8 is lovely Zhuria . I've had my GR8 out on the trails and as long as you don't wallop your head on any low hanging branches you should be fine. The bonus to the CO's is that they have a MUCH smaller brim, meaning if you're in two point you can still see where you're going. Tipperarys are nice but not for dressage.

You can't have temperament on horses. When something doesn't go well, you quickly get upset... that's not for horses, that's for husbands. ~ George Morris
