The British Stallion Event - Hartpury College

I too have decided to take my stallion to the one at Addington. Hartpury didn't have stables available last year which made the horse box park a very busy place indeed. I felt that people did not really get a proper chance to meet the boys up close and personal. It also meant that someone had to be by the horse box all day. I am not very keen on people being allowed to wonder around the horse boxes unattended, you just never know in this day and age.

So it is Stallion Showcase GB for us.
 
I would be interested in seeing Jaguar Mail, Power Blade and Vangelis S . They are all on my short (long) list for next year.

It would be around a three and a half hour journey from North Yorkshire so not too bad given the chance to see three prospects in one trip.
 
Sadly I can't make it to the British Stallion Event either but I'm really looking forward to going to Addington the weekend after. I hope the Brookhouse Stud stallions are going to be at Addington too as I really want to see Chequille Z. He's been on my watch list for a long time.
 
SS, I am pretty sure Ken wont be taking any stallions to Addington

I have been trying to see if I can escape from work and fly back to see the Stallion Showcase at Addington but its the same weekend as the Schockemohle one so I am pretty sure I cant make it, which is a real pain
 
Volatis I don't mind about missing Ken's stallions. Its Emma Hindle's that I want to see. :)

Sorry it sounds as if you won't be able to make it although the stallion show at PSs is supposed to be rather grand!
 
I've never been to any of the Stallion events before and was thinking of going to Hartpury as it's quite close to where I live. I'm an equestrian artist so was going to wander along with my camera in the hope of getting some pics of handsome boys for my own future paintings but do people know if they use the outdoor arenas or stay indoors (not so good for lighting)? Can you tell I have no idea how these stallion events work?! ;)
 
We will be at Hartpury with our SPSS graded Knabstrupper stallion Rughavens Jackpot. Just hoping the weather stays good as don't fancy the drive to Hartpury if icy - all those hills!!! Please come and say hello - we are very recogniseable with our spotty stallion!

Now that will be spectacular! Let me know what Contendros looks like, he caught my eye on the web site. The stallion shows on the continent put ours to shame sadly.
 
From the looks of the line up at SSGB it looks to be a great line up (pictures of some of the entries have gone onto the FB page).....some of the stallions are going to both but there are especially a lot of stallions going to SSGB that are uncontestable and people will be spoilt for choice!

we can car share:D
 
Stallion Showcase at Addington is all indoors. Their indoor arena is very bright. I think their normal photographer is Image Point, check out their website for photos and should give you an idea of light situation. We have previously bought indoor photos from Addington with no light problem in photos. Hope this helps.
 
Hi Cyrus, Do you mean Hartpury? As this is what the topic was originally about? lol! i rang them today to reserve tickets so i know! It is £8 (buy ticket on the door) and includes entry into a prize draw and a colour catalogue of stallions entered. Eventers first from 2pm, followed by showjumpers and then dressage horses i believe. They said times would be out end of next week. I am there for the whole day with a group, we have 3 cars full as plan to go have a mooch around the shopping bit and trade stands too :D
