not sure which is the best, i watch most of them on tv or get mum to tape them coz i find it better and easier to watch them tha way as i have bad eyesight
Hmmmmm well I can catagorically say NO to Badminton, as I will be on nights. Will have to see how the others fit in around the sales season.... Would like to go to Blenheim
def not badminton as am still at uni but will probs be at Blenheim as its down the road to me, will probs also be up at Burgie fence judging and writing!
Well I'd like to say yes to Badders, I've been for the last 3 years but as we have 2 mares and a human (not me!) due to foal that week, I may not be able to go, have to see how close they are to foaling at the time.
May do Blenheim as only been once before. Burghleys a bit of a trip for me, 4 hours or something!
I'll be going to Bramham, as I do every year (know it's not on your list but it's great!) and Burghley - been for the last 4 years. Been to Blenheim but never Badminton so think I'll give it a go.
Every time I go to Blenheim it's p*ssed it down!
Hopefully Badminton but NOT on the saturday - unless I go on the friday as well and stay overnight as you just can't shop AND watch on the saturday - pointless. Plus I went with a coach group.
Always say hopefully to Blenheim as auntie lives 2mins from it
Absolutely agree dobie, Brmham is good, and near enough for me to go for the day, the others are all so far away when the horses are to be looked after. Chatsworth is good too and again within travelling distance for us.
WellI think Badminton and burghley is now extorniately expensive but prefer to go to Badminton as its much flatter for walking! Probably give both a miss and go to the smaller cheaper ones. Went to Gatcombe for first time last year and loved it. Will also probs go to chatsworth and was going to try barbary castle. I think you tend to see more action as the fences are closer together
Always go to Badminton usually on dressage day - but OH would love to see XC but I cannot bare the crowds!
Would like to go to Burghley as OH sister usually jump judges and I have heard the shopping is good! But will see how it fits in as a bit of a trek and would mean staying with said sister.
