Stay away BS show suggestions please

[suzi]

After an enjoyable and moderately successful 3 days jumping at Wales and West at the weekend (my first stay away show) I want to go again!


Currently jumping BNov / Disc / other similar height classes and wondered where else I could go.

Any suggestions?

Weston Lawns? They have an amateur show in July for 4 days and have classes from BN upwards.

Arena uk, western lawns, aintree... I think all of them have 3 day shows coming up

 

[Llanali]

Weston Lawns is the weekend of the 19th, and Arena the weekend of the 25th of July- or maybe the other way round? Both have scope katherine James (1m) and Adventurer 1.05m classes, but Weston has 80/90/1 amateurs, BN and disco too, whereas Arena just has some BN/Disco and 1m Amateurs.

We will likely be at bother but certainly weston, so say hi!

Thank you . Will look all those up tomorrow.

Aintree may be a little far...

Where is Arena UK?

 

[BYR]

It's in Lincolnshire, google it and it will come up, by far our favourite venue around here, lovely arenas and surface and always find it to be very friendly aintree is quite far for us too but seemed to be very well organised and well run when we went!

Arena or weston for definate.

 

[suzi]

Any suggestions slightly further south?

Kent / Dorset / Somerset / Devon? Up as far as Birmingham / oxford?

I'm clueless and not finding it that easy to find venues with suitable classes.

Dorset Showground is lovely and does 2 or 3 a year, well worth going to.

Hand EC also does big stay away shows (Somerset).

 

[suzi]

Thank you.

just looked at Dorset and they have one towards the end of Sept which is an option if we are jumping 1.10 classes by then (currently want to do 1m and 1.05).

will google Hand now...

Aintree is worth the effort!

 

[suzi]

I'm sure Aintree is lovely but it would be about a 9 hour drive on my own!!

Maybe one for next year.....

 

[Kokopelli]

What about Chard?

 

[Leg_end]

Wales & west (David broomes place) has just had one and have another scheduled for Sept I think...

Suzi- I went to W&W for our 1st stay away show too this weekend and also had an ace time!- Will watch this post with interest

 

[suzi]

W & W was our first stay away back in June and I loved it.

Wanted to go again but I am looking for 1m and 1.05 classes for the next one rather than 1m / 1.10 so looks like we might be going to Hand in September.

Blue Chip. Not on till April but its a fab show & they have classes that you don't need to have qualified for. Just lock your stuff up! xx
