Trade stands at shows...

[H's mum]

We've just been having a conversation about trade stands at shows which got me wondering... who goes and looks around them?

When we're with the riders, on the competitors side of the show we didn't look around the trade stands as we didn't have time - when we go as "spectators" we do - so what do you do?

 

[JM7]

Always!!!!

just to see if there are any "trade stand" offers...

and have a good nosey round...

 

[SillyMare]

Usually, if I have some spare time.

 

[EllieBeast]

[Toadeyes]

Yes of course!

Shopping is my third favourite thing.

 

[Claireg9]

I always do when not competing and i will do when im competing if theres time. I got a bargain pair of jods that are lush, nice lilac colour with full checked seat for £18.00!
By far beats tesco stuff!

Love the trade stands, sign up for every competition and bring more leaflets home than I know what to do with!

 

[JessPickle]

I love them, seeing new products, getting dirt cheap stuff great

 

[Heidi1]

If competing, try and have a quick look, if spectating then oh yes I hit the trade stands.........Love them..........bargains oh yes.............

Always!
Came back from the Royal Welsh with CA t-shirt, £5;
Musto 3/4 trousers, £10,
Toggi canvas top, £10,
leather mules, £10 and hubby came back with a JCB clock for a tenner - don't ask!!

No show/event is complete unless I've been round the stands!

Always I love trade stands -it's half the reason I go to Blair

I go whether spectating or competing

 

[Emily99]

When not competing have a good old browse.. when competing mught have a quick glance around whilst finding food!

 

[druid]

I'll second that!

 

[Haflinger]

Oh yes, I love them! Most are dirt cheap and you can get some great stuff of them.

 

[paintsplat05]

always but mostly look around ones advertising offers or general tack shops.

 

[cazcrazyjonty]

[sham]

Only if I'm not competing.
My mum always goes though, she's a shopaholic *rolls eyes*
