The SSGB kicks off today with an amazing list of stallions, all doing their bit at Addington (good caff too!), and tomorrow we'll see the dual purpose and dressage boys. Yippee!

I went both days and had a fabulous time! It was very organised and well run a lot of thought had been put into it and it showed. The stallions all came in according to print of catalogue each having the same amount of time in the ring which meant the event ran smoothly and to time. There were breaks in which talks were given along with demonstations and dislays both of which were enjoyable and informative. The stands and cafe meant you could carry on watching the stallions while shopping or catching a bite to eat.
All the stallions were well presented and I came away with quite a long short list of quality stallions which is obviouly the point of these events.
I also went to the one in Hartbury and while there were good points the lack of organisation and the fact that the stallions had no stabling and so you couldnt walk round and see them and meet them were real down points for me. while the display of Emma Hindles stallions especially the finale were spectacular I wont be going again the day dragged on and the disorganisation of the event left me feeling drained and frustrated.
I wanted to go to both as I will have a couple of stallions that I want to take to event of this kind and while there were more people at the Hartbury event this year I feel that the one held at Addington was a victim of clashing with the regionals and was by far the more professional event for me and when the time comes that is where I will be heading!
