so what did you all buy?
 
I got;

- show rug for Wonky
- 12 haynets!!
- 2 bags of garlic (special offer)
- new joint supplement that is meant to be out of this world??
- leather headcollar for Ben
- Horse subscription (30% off and a free masta fleece rug)

I think that was it - I reined myself in this year!
 
I got my sister a lovely pink Thermatex for her pony for her b/day in Jan as already ahve her x-mas present.
I had money from my brothers to get myself a rug so got a Thermatex exercise sheet but had to order it and it'll be ready in Jan sometime but got it cheaper than online.
Helped a friend buy his partner a pair of Arait Bromont Boots, Had to hide them in the shopping point.
Mum mum go me something as she sneaked off and was hiding bags, cant wait 2 find out what it was

- new coat
- pink olympia hoodie
- joules slippers
- lots of thermal socks!!
- leadrope
and my mum got herself a bag of horse treats to give Gilby when she come to visit at christmas

NOT ENOUGH!

Had no space in my luggage (I was travelling with hand luggage only... next year I'll drive!), so I only bought a replacement saddle cover for my second-hand Jaguar which came without a cover, two lovely coats for my dogs (one, waterproof, for Peanuts, which resembles a Barbour coat and a fleece jumper for Florimell!) and a DVD...oh, and a pair of UGG-style boots to go to the yard in (to be totally frank my shoes were killing me after three days of walking speedily through London, so I had to get something as flat as possible -- I wore them there and then!

)
 
I bought a leather headcollar for Milly with a brass name plate, welly warmers, 2 leadropes...think that's it. Wanted to buy more but i kept getting confused as to where i had looked and where i hadn't, and we got there really late cause of train delays and snow

still had a fabulous time though!
 
With the suitcase thing I think she means that she carried one suitcase to Olympia with another one inside it, then when she got to Olympia took the suticase inside out and filled both suitcases with a lot of horsey bits and pieces

I have probably got this totally wrong haha, I was just having a stab in the dark.

In answer to OP I didn't go to Olympia

Gutted, I have now told mum that they is no way she is stopping me from going next year

A premier Equine fleece
A Hi Vis tail wrap
A leather headcollar which I am slightly disappointed in. It appears to have been 'painted' with some sort of finish which is crack, and not absorbing the leather balsam.
 
A new show jacket, which is lovely and a Joules hoodie.
I havnt got a horse to buy for this year so didnt feel the need to look in every shop.

The lovliest pair of Spanish riding / yard boots I ever did see - tried on every other boot in the place and none of them fitted as well as these do..lush!!
 
Goodness, how did you all carry your purchases!!

I restricted myself to a very snazzy pair of leather gaiters, which, apart from wearing them round the house to soften them up, haven't seen the light of day since, as the weather has been too

to ride!

I do rather regret not getting a leather headcollar with my lad's name on a brass plate though

I got 2 new rugs for my boys from Premier Equine (£25 off each one! Bargain!), a new hi-vis jacket (old style so got £20 off) and the Dressage Dreans book by Stephen Clarke, signed by him and someone who's name I cannot read!

Apparently Carl Hester was signing them but I was too busy watching the fabulous French man and his ponies to go back!

Wanted soo much more though!
 
How much were they selling the Ariat Bromonts for at Olympia? I just bought chocolate ones (to save the black ones for competing) @ £187.99 inc postage
 
I got:
~An olympia hoodie
~Diamond browband
laugh.gif
(well they are sort of white crystal things!)
~Moody mare rugby top
~Hair clasp thing
~Leather balm/polish!
~I also got my program signed by Mary King and Pippa Funnell who are both lovely people
 
I bought a new everyday riding hat ( Charles owen in pink to wind everyone up because they said I couldn't possibly ride in a pink hat hee hee), a gorgeous new competition shirt ( more than I wanted to spend but I loved it!), 2 t-shirts for my little boy, cosy hat, warm gloves and a lush elasticated breastplate (don't need one but i've been eyeing them up for a while)
