Now then, this Olympia lark..................

[ThomasTank]

OK, I have arranged with my sister in Croydon to take me and my daughter to Olympia. She says its easy to get there from hers ( I just need to find my way to Croydon

but thats a minor issue).
She is totally non horsey but hates to miss out on ANYTHING !!

Now then, I think we ( well I ) want to see some good showjumping or the puissance, so when do I go ?????

Have a look at their website - that tells what classes are on which days.

 

[ThomasTank]

I knew someone would say that

Now I have to have the embarrasement of saying I dont understand it

I cant see where the puissance is or which is the good showjumping.

I'm a happy hacker with an old horse. I have no idea who is famous these days or anything

Puissance is usually the friday evening

Will you be driving in or training? If you're training, you'll have to leg it from the end of the performance (or even leave early) in order to get the last train

 

[ThomasTank]

So whats on on the saturday

 

[ThomasTank]

I will be in training with my sister who seems to know all about trains, we will need to get to croydon and apparrently that wont be a problem according to her

You'll need to get tickets fairly quickly, I wanted to get my friend some dressage tickets for Tuesday night for his birthday and they were totally sold out. We are having to go on the Monday afternoon instead, luckily he's not worried about the showy bits (and the tickets were only £16

) and I still get to shop
