Hello!

My name is Elizabeth and I live in the states. I came across Horse & Hound after doing some research about buying a horse from Ireland (and am now including England). I am planning a trip towards the end of the year and upon finding this site have found so much more information than I could have imagined. I am excited to be a part of this community and hope to gain some knowledge from you all. And maybe a contact when I make my ways overseas :)

Welc Elizabeth, its pretty early here, but there is always someone online: all your questions will be answered. I suggest you go to one of the bigger agricultural shows, they usually have a good showing section for our native ponies as well as show jumping and showing in hand and under saddle.
If you are interested in carriage driving there are several international level events which are great, usually held in beautiful parkland, and you can volunteer to help if you want. To my mind you must visit the National stud in Newmarket, guided tours run every day, they are great You can see the horses exercising on the famous gallops in the morning, there are over 2000 horses and 85 trainers in Newmarket aka HQ, again tours are available, and probably worthwhile to get maximum information. http://www.discovernewmarket.co.uk/pages/index.php , they can arrange a visit to one of the many training yards in the town, a bit different from Churchill Downs.
http://www.jockey-club-estates.co.uk/ The quirky museum is worth a visit, a new one will be ready soon. Newmarket has two [well three] racecourses, and their racing is a super experience. If there are sales on at Tattersalls you must go. I can recommend a stud to stay on, but at the moment I can't pm you until you have made more posts.
There are lots of reminders of Paul Mellon as he was very generous, the bronze of Eclipse by Skeaping is wonderful, and Mill Reef is buried at the National Stud.
If you are in the area take a day to visit tje Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge, and have a trip on the on the Cam. http://www.scudamores.com/, very English.

CambridgePunting:
Punting in Cambridge is the best way to explore the sights and learn all the history and accomplishments that this incredible city proudly holds. The River Cam passes through the heart of Cambridge University’s campus, offering the most unique views of the famous colleges. Most chauffeured Cambridge punting tours start from Magdalene College Gardens and go all the way through St. John’s College, Trinity Hall, Trinity College, Clare College, and finally Kings’ and Queens’ College. Though chauffeured tours are currently on hold due to the nation slowly recovering from lockdown, the weather for the rest of June is set to be marvellous and full of beautiful sunshine because summer is here. There has never been a better time to connect with the best and brightest British roots by renting your own punt for the day. Imagine giving your friends or family members a good laugh as you entertain them with your radical navigation and balancing skills. You do not need to be an expert punter to rent one of these traditional English boats. Here is why it is worth going on a Cambridge punt all by yourself without queuing up with all the other tourists.
