A non-horsey friend is working at the arena there as a caretaker and gets to be there to see everyone warming up etc & doesn't understand quite how amazing the event is!

 

[louisem]

Keep an eye on the horse from Svante Johannsen,he's LURVELY!!!!

 

[lucretia]

frankly if meredith doesnt bring shutterfly, i probably wont be able to watch the bloody jumping, i am dying to see the horse in the flesh because i actually never have. although i might be slightly pacified if oki doki comes.

)

 

[lucretia]

[FinnishLapphund]

I'm going Thursday evening (6pm) and Fridays early show (10am)

, oh think when I was a few years younger *sigh* and didn't have other things and responsibilities I had to do, without could go every day and every show

. Now I have to make do with two and be happy for what they show on TV that I can record, on Saturday and Sunday.








Ah well, no point in moping over what I can't get, I'm having my yearly dose of showjumping up close and I'm getting it soon... does happy-dance

 

[lucretia]

a mini meet then is it Finnish laphund? go on say yes!!

 

[tigers_eye]

Isn't this going to be Briar's last ever show? Love that horse, he's just mouth-watering.

 

[lucretia]

i shall endeavour to find out x

 

[little_flea]

Oooh I am from near Gothenburg too - wish I could go, the atmosphere is amazing.

Yes it is Briar's last ever show :-(

 

[lucretia]

And i have never seen a shopping place like it. olympia looks like the village shop in comparrison. in fact the shopping hall is so huge, i think you could fit ALL of olympia in it and even though it was thursday morning pretty full of shoppers. not much credit crunching here then. Rob whitaker was second in the first class.
and there are some pics in the gallery x

 

[SJFAN]

Will be interesting to know how Rob gets on with Casino.

 

[lucretia]

indeed!
