Bramham?

[FestiveSpirit]

Is it worth going? Just won two tickets for the Saturday courtesy of EWW (thank you EWW

) but it is a 3 hour drive each way and I am competing the next day (unaff ODE)

Not sure what to do

I did notice a certain HHOer is entered though

 

[Gamebird]

Of course!

 

[meardsall_millie]

I've won tickets too - how cool is that?!

(You can tell I don't get out much...

)

We were planning on going on the Saturday anyway - now we'll get in for free. Hmm - more shopping money - hurray!!

 

[FestiveSpirit]

Oh

OK

Perhaps I will go then

 

[ann-jen]

Bramham is fantastic - great show-jumping as well as the eventing. Usually most of the Whitakers there amongst other big names. Be prepared to spend loads of money though as the shopping is great. Wish I was going this year but I have to work.

 

[Baydale]

It's a really lovely event, you should definitely go if only to get to the shops before meardsall_millie empties them.

 

[FestiveSpirit]

PMSL Baydale

OK, I am convinced, a-trekking up the motorway we will go

Leaving my credit card at home of course

Sadly, I understand I'm going the day after you so you'll have got there first.... (remember I was with you at Milners 'Mrs Pikeur'!)

 

[MissDeMeena]

There's two HHO'ers entered

Or even three actually?

 

[Baydale]

Damn you for reminding me of that m_m; it was therapy for being on crutches. Anyway, I'll be too knackered after coping with Fractious Four Year Old and Fractious Five Year Old for the day.

Is there? I only recognised L and Connie

Off to have another look and see if I can recognise more people's real names

I take it you are entered

 

[MissDeMeena]

Having just read Baydales post, make that 4

Yes, i'm entered, in the CIC***

 

[Joss]

Yes, yes come to Bramham. Mum & I have a wee cottage booked. Parent's horse is doing the CCI - Some Day Soon.

BYEH doesn't count cos it's not "proper" eventing, it's far more dangerous.

 

[MissDeMeena]

More dangerous? try riding Ernie in the dressage, with nothing but a top-hat on your head!!!

haha

 

[FestiveSpirit]

Its official I am not cut out to be an internet stalker after a 5am start to go eventing today

Sadly I shall miss Baydale cos I am on there on Saturday, but I cannot for the life of me identify the other two HHOers

I do feel duly ashamed

- I remember you were amazing at the advanced at Withington MissDeSummer, but my brain wont cross reference the two lists

But rather excitingly I have noticed that Mark Todd has two in the CIC*** (absolutely no idea how I failed to notice that before

)


ETA - no, stop press!!! I have finally worked you out MissDeSummer, I shall duly stand at the side of the XC course waving my flag saying 'yayyy, go Ernie'

 

[L00bey]

Make it 5 competing

Im in the workers on thurs

does that still count?!

Oh yes, that's wayyyyy more dangerous than BYEH, have you seen the size of the bullfinch they use?

Ooh, no thanks, give me Jupiter round a 2'9" course or Hector over a trakehner any day, much safer. I'll ring you when I'm there and come and find you, not in a stalker-ish way, obviously.

 

[L00bey]

Hahaha im actually really worried

I havent competed a WH yet on Rupert... the only one I did I got elminated for forgetting the course

lol. Will you all come support me if you can bear to watch a showing class

Im actually really nervous!!!

 

[jozzie789]

Well done, I also won the season tickets! But I live gloucestershire area so its going to be over a 3 hour drive for me to, and I have a ode on the saturday so ill need to be back for that... typical the time I actually win something!

I really dont know what to do but from the sounds of it, it should be good!

Hope you have a good time if you go!x

LOL - I am on the Glos/Herefordshire border, so just down the road from you pretty much

I have been convinced, I am going to Bramham on Saturday and doing my ODE on Sunday - it is only at Sapey, and I know the XC course there like the back of my hand so even I dont need loads of preparation

Haha, can you wave a "ssshhhh, slow down Ernie!" one in the dressage please!! (but wave it gently obviously)..

Haha..

Baydale, come and say 'hi' just before the dressage, and say something calming

 

[hotellie]

Luckily its basically just down the road for me and so i am there on Thursday, friday, stewarding on saturday! and there again on sunday!

I'm not sure my stock phrase of "enjoy" will work in this case, will have to think of something else instead.
