As some of you already are aware, I run a 3 day showing clinic at Keysoe each year as part of The Show Ring website. We have around 25-30 people attending each year, and I have had two cancellations - one due to the lameness of one of the horses (long term so not going to be sound in time) and another has sold her horse! The camp costs £200 for 3 days (including stabling for 3 nights). Day one is 1 session of flatwork, day two is two sessions wtih showing judges (Alan Robertson, Jo Bates and Mathew Lawrence), day 3 is flatwork and working hunter. Class sizes are between 4-5 per session. We also have the full use of all the cross country, outdoor and indoor arenas for the duration.

Standard ranges from not started showing yet through to people who have competed at HOYS. As there have been so many showing threads recently, I wondered if anyone here were interested.

Dates are 14-16 May, 2007 at the College, Keysoe, Bedfordshire. Arrive on Sunday 13th, and go home on Wednesday 16th May. TGM came last year and I think she had a good time. Designer Browbands (suppliers of all types of showing equipment from jackets to number elastic) will be there on the first day.

It is great fun, and StinkerStonkersMum is already joining us in May to take up one of the spaces, so if anyone wants to take advantage of the second space, you won't be the only HHO people. As well as StinkerStonkersMum, Deefa, F1orence, JnB, Virtual, Bellgave and Lands are all HHO members and are all coming to camp this year!
 
I would LOVE to come but my horse has tendonitis-thought it was something else but its not.
He's having some holistic treatment on monday and vet says is only a mild case but he keeps going lame so maybe we are'nt going to have much luck this year.
If you have any last minute no shows perhaps we can be on standby as im only down the road?
 
Why can't these things be nearer to me, it would take me all day to get there. I really would love to do it too.
 
If I win the lottery tonight, I'll come

It took me 5 hours to get there last year, but it was worth it, we all had a fab time. I know at least one other person coming from Somerset direction

I would absolutely love to come, I'm so gutted I have uni exams on one of those days

And have horrible feeling that will be the case for the next 2 years too

I've never done showing before but would love to give it a try with Flash, I imagine something like this would be absolutley invaluable!
