Blair Horse Trials 24-27th August

[Barton Bounty]

I know it is a wee bit away but the time is flying in


Anyone planning a trip up to Sconnie Botland?

A couple of friends and I are going on 25th August if anyone fancies catching up and saying HI

 

[Denali]

Take me with you!!!! I’m waiting to hear if OH’s niece will be competing

 

[Elf On A Shelf]

I'll be there on the Friday with Dum Dum. He has qualified for the NPS inhand finals. So I won't be in the normal people bits I wil be hanging onto a 3yo Colt in the collecting ring and then in the ring

I want to see dum dum in person! He also, much to my OH chagrin makes me want to get a Shetland. His sister has one I can play with but I want my own.

Hopefully he will qualify again next year so you can meet him then

I would love that! I used to ride a Shetland when I was a junior for the little girl who owned him. He was such a stinker. Put me through a fence at one point. Loved that little dude. He rode around in a purple trailer

Mr EM and I will be making our annual trip on 22nd to 28th along with our three dogs. We're meeting up with old friends who are staying in the same hotel and will also have our yearly catch up with lots of folk - looking forward to a relaxing week, fingers crossed for good weather and some exciting eventing! Our son will also be working in the event stables for a week.

 

[Jeni the dragon]

I'm there all 4 days too! I've got family locally for B and B!

oo how exciting!

Not North for me, its South! Heading there as a spectator as usual, too long a journey to go with horse for the day (cant afford to stay) - never quite made it with a horse to Blair even though Id love to ride there. Going on Thurs or Fri when its not so busy, when's everyone else? Anyone know which day the smaller section XC in on this year as like to watch it? Fingers crossed weather will be nice!

 

[JBM]

If I had money and knew the exact date of my exams I’d be there! I’m sure my bf would begrudgingly tag along with the promise of food

 

[Barton Bounty]

Me , ill be there on fri just spectating

 

[sbloom]

I'll be manning my trade stand, likely by the showing rings but won't know my location for a bit. I may be looking for a few hours help over the whole show and will have a spare wristband if there are any volunteers, there's even a chance that my stand neighbour last year could do with a bit of help too, so might suit two friends?

 

[wills_91]

I had promised my daughter I'd take her this year but will now be in having baby on the Friday so next year it is!

Hope Dumdum qualifies again as I would love to see him in person to!

 

[Elf On A Shelf]

I shall make it my top mission to qualify Dum Dum again next year not because its a good qualifier and a good class to go to (and I have won it before with The Wee Coloured Job!) I shall endeaver to qualify him purely so his fan club can admire him

 

[Barton Bounty]

Wooohooo… got my tickets….

 

[OrangeAndLemon]

Volunteer up there is you can, they really look after volunteers.

I go and volunteer for the week every few years, I stay at a B&B in Pitlochry rather than take advantage of the free camping (I did it one year but the vet students were loud and partying into the night and I didn't sleep well). It's a great experience.

My tent has a sewn in groundsheet around the whole thing, and bedrooms are nearly always completely sealed even within the tent. Fewer insects than at home!
