I was just going on the sat (have to see pippa + william funnell demo) but there are so many demos to see i'm going to go on the friday as well just to shop.
List so far - any other recommendations gratefully received...
1. Brown leather girth - quite like the Jeffries ones
2. New velvet hat for best - can anyone recommend one that has the looks of a Patey, with safety certificates, without the price tag
3. Rubber reins for everyday use
4. Ariat insulated gloves
5. Maybe Amigo H/W turnout if I decide to clip him out completely
6. Leather half chaps - not too expensive..
7. Quite like this if on special offer
There from thursday to sunday evening but have planned an escape to go BSJA for a few hours on the sunday.
Will be looking for a nice show jacket that actually fits me.
I'm going on Friday. Not got a particular wish list of stuff, although do need a couple of extra hi viz bits and pieces. Also debating about whether to get some Equi Chaps for one of ours, as apparently the field she is going into is renowned for every horse in there getting mud fever...
Have a great time. I'm definitely going to come and see the horses.
I'm going on Friday and have been selling stuff on ebay to raise funds! Currently have £300 and its rising so I feel some serious shopping is in order!
Full neck under rug
Long leather black boots
Exercise rug
I'm there on the Friday with Ludo! I won the Private Lesson with Chris Bartle and it's on at 1.15pm on Friday. Very, very scared but equally excited. Now I'm even more worried that there's so many HHO-ers there on the Friday (please come along and watch, but don't laugh at how bad we are!)
To answer the second part of the question I'm hoping not to buy as I don't need anything, but I can't help but feeling there'll be packing to do on the way home, than the way there LOL!
Chris is brilliant. You'll have a great time.
Only thing I would advise is getting in the areana prior to it all starting as its only 20m x 35m and spooky. I believe there is an areana ride around at 7.30 am on friday.
