I know it's a few months away but who's planning on going to your horse live?

[Supertrooper]

I for one can't wait!!! Definately want to see Laura B and Phoebe Buckley, interspersed with lots of shopping )

This year I'd like to see the stunt team too but I know how crazy it was last year to get to see them xx

 

[MiCsarah]

It was my first year last year and I was actually dissapointed with it all, shopping was ok but wasn't impressed with the demostrations

 

[The_snoopster]

I shall be going this year as I did not go last year, it all got a bit same old same old for me. But then I used to go before it became your horse live, before it got so huge there were lots more bargains than these days. I must be honest I do not go for the demos, it was always the place to go for advice on feed, supplements etc with the companies who made them. Years ago feed companies were hard to get old of, but with the internet and phone help lines it they have become much more user friendly. However I shall still go and spend far too much money on stuff I shall never use, which ends up on ebay for half the price

 

[0ldmare]

Yes we'll be there with the trade stand (and cheque book for buying from all the other tradestands )

 

[Cadfael&Coffee]

I'm hoping to get there this year, it's been about 4 years since I last managed to get down

What date is It this year?

 

[rowy]

I'm def hoping to go and see laura B!!
Went for first time last year but only got a chance to do the shopping but got some fabby bargins! Writing a list of things I need this year and hoping I can get some cheap items!!!

 

[MrsMozartletoe]

Yup

Went for the first time last year and enjoyed it

It's my day with D1. For D2 we go to Crufts

 

[fjordhorsefan]

We'll be going again. I was disappointed with the demos last year - the only one we watched was the stunt team. This year I shall be mainly...SHOPPING!

 

[Ashgrove]

I went for the first time last year, and I would like to go every year, the shopping was great

 

[TheoryX1]

Last time I went was in 2005, and have since discovered the joys of internet shopping,plus a great local saddler who will order in pretty much everythng we need. However, quite fancy a whole day of horsey retail therapy, to get in practice for Olympia.

 

[Kat]

Yes! Will be taking the tradestand for the third year running. We will be over near the interactive zone so come and say hello.

I will be taking my credit card and watching the demos too. I was a bit disappointed by the demos last year but will look forward to seeing Laura B, just hope she does enough demos that Mark and I can both go in turn!

 

[welshcobmad]

I enjoy HOYS a lot more. So much so my tickets were booked 2 months ago & its not til Oct lol

 

[JCWHITE]

Contingent from France on its way !!
Always enjoy the show as its so different from whats on offer here.
Come mainly to shop.

 

[Samantha008]

I was really disapointed with the shows. Shopping was ace, but not much difference to HOYS so i think ill just be waiting for that

 

[Hedwards]

Yep, I'll probably head over, it has become a bit samey every year, and agree with the previous poster who said it was better years ago before it became your horse live. The good old Equine Event had loads of bargains, plus they gave away free horse treats on most stands!

The demos are a bit samey, for the past 2 years I have sat next to my vet friend watching the demo in the smaller arena (cant remember the dressage lady's name Sylvia something?) and for 2 years running she has had a lame horse! but thats a whole other story!

I'll be going, will be doing HOYS and your horse live, Loved both last year they are both very different I found, where as HOYS is kind of the premier league I found your horse very much at my level and very informative with the feed suppliers they had there and loads and loads of freebies and samples, I don't actually know which one I'm more excited about.
