Much less busy this year, thank god!!!!!
Had a really great day, the last couple of years I've not enjoyed it so much and I debated this year about going but as it's five mins from me I thought I'd regret not going.
I got everything I wanted, apart from gloves but this is what I came home with......
A rydale coat £40
A regatta soft shell coat £15
A ear warmer headband thing £10
Hovis's new book ❤️❤️
A toy for the ginger pony that you stuff hay in, bit like the decahedron toys but much bigger (caused the lads much confusion and hilarity at the shop & drop) £50
Some new Equilibrium low sugar treats for him - everyone was buying them!!!
Two pots (buy one get one free) Yumove active joint supplement
And I still came home with money in my purse 😝😝
I watched Karen Dixon demo about training ex racers - very interesting although uses lots of gadgets
Listened to Alan Davies talk which again was really interesting. I'd love him to write a book. He's so dedicated and it's great how high profile grooms are becoming
And then the afternoon demos, Geoff was very funny. Firstly he came in riding HOVIS!!!!! Who loved the limelight bless him. Then Geoff had six children riding their ponies, three 12.2hh and three 14.2hh over a course of huge fences, very feisty ponies and kids!! Then Geoff rode two also.
Really enjoyed Charlottes demo this year, she came across much better this year and she was riding too rather than teaching someone. She was riding a beautiful but very sensitive black gelding called Vogue, only seven and she said he was very very difficult as a youngster but you could really see the trust they had in each other and that even as a top rider you don't get the easy ones. Really learnt a lot.
