Thank you - water was what i wanted to see, amongst everythign else!
Well not totally decided, the fact that according to eventing 70% went clear at Hartpury and 49% at Blair is one thing.....the other thing is as we'd go via thirlestane which = £100 stabling + entry fee and Blair is more expensive anywya, potentially i'd get the whole of Weston Park for the same price as my 10 days away in scotland!!!
BUT I do love Blair......he's nto quite right at the moment so it depends if i can get him ready for hartpury?
Nickym, just thought of another question.. a friend of mine did the young rider europeans when they were there several years ago, and they were stabled in some VERY smart stables.. would they have just been for the europeans, or are they nice for all doing the 3day there??
At Blair you're just stabled in some flappy tent
I groomed at Hartbury event a couple of years ago. It was the year when it was boiling hot and they had massive fans spraying out water in the stable yard. I loved it there though. Lovely venue and the stables were an American Barn (not that great in that hot weather though). Looked very smart!
Yes its permanent stables at Hartpury, Blair's are fine though, they're using the Starbox like Burgie/Thirlestane I think Houghton etc use, they're nice portable ones.
