Sorry, I've also posted this in competition riders but I'm getting desperate!

Where can I get a schedule from?
Unless i'm being very blonde, I can't find one on the Kent Showground website.
I really want to see the Cob classes, hunters, working hunters, side saddle and large breed M&M.

If you know which days these are on, please let me know!

UPDATE: I've been told that Cobs are Sunday and workers are Friday but I have no idea of what time and what ring!

PLEASE HELP!

Friday
Coloured Cobs - John Standen Ring (approx midday)
Workers - Astor Ring (7.45am)

Saturday
Welsh Cobs - Falmouth Ring (approx 9am)

Sunday
Ridden Cobs - Astor Ring (from 8am)

I was meant to be going, but can't get there, and have no one to handle foal. Entries paid and stable booked - I am gutted, especially as the girls have done so well this year. Oh well, at the end of the day, it is only a show, and there is always next year.
 
Sorry, didn't see the others in your request;

In-Hand hunters - from 7.45am Pam Nesfield Ring on Friday
Ridden Hunters - from 7.45am Astor Ring on Saturday
Side Saddle - (ladies hunter) 2pm John Standen Ring on Saturday
Ridden M&M (bigger ones) from 2.15pm Pam Nesfield Ring on Saturday
Welsh D's - from approx 10am Falmouth ring Saturday
WHP - John Standen Ring from 2.30pm on Sunday
 
Thanks for that, it's such a shame to miss the show!

I'm guessing hiring a box isn't an option? There are loads of box hire companies in Newmarket. Rent-right in Newmarket do self-drive so must be cheaper??? And i'm sure you'll find people on here and at the show who'd be willing to handle the baby. I'd do it if it's on the day I'm there.
My mum has a two box but she doesn't rent it out for self drive and I don't think she's be free to take you because of all the racehorses, I'm lucky that she takes me on a Sunday to shows!
 
Thanks Earlgrey - unfortunately I recently quit my job (stupid without finding another one, I know) and cannot really justify spending money on transport to a show, when other things have to be paid for. I have lots of job interviews lined up for next week though, so fingers crossed!

My OH was meant to take me and handle the foal, but he has let me down big time. Perhaps I should say ex-OH....

Anyway, we live and learn - next year I plan not to be so reliant on others, and get out to even more shows.
