I'm driving myself round the twist here, I have the choice of three shows to attend - I only want to go to one but cant choose which one!
Background - four year old 11hh pony showing in hand for the first time since a yearling, calm and quiet pony no anticipated problems. He has sweet itch which is nicely under control at the moment and he is looking quite well if a little unconditioned
me - fat and need to get a bit fitter if I am to run around a ring without keeling over but happy to fitten up as necessary
I want to get a bit of value for money as the horsebox hire is £110!
Show 1
Early August
Close to home
Three possible classes all after 9:30am including one for newcomers (would probably do just two classes)
Strong competiton
Busy
Parking a bit hemmed in
My immediate first choice but its very close now!
Show 2
A week later than the one above
1 hour away
only one possible class but early at 8:30am
Quieter
Larger space for parking, wandering around, warming up etc
Show 3
Early September
Same venue as show 1 so close to home
1 suitable class, 1 other possible
More time to get pony and me in to condition
Busy
Competative - HOYS ponies there last year!
Pony will be fluffier by then and worried sweet itch may flare up before then
My least favourite of the options
