Is anyone going ?
I'd love to go but don't have a car. Going by public transport would involve a 13 hour day of travelling there and back, and I'd miss the end of the demo as I'd have to leave early to get the last train back to Edinburgh.

I'm going as a helper and stay in leith, you'd be happy to catch a ride with me!.. If my 1998 polo that I bought for £350 doesn't pack it in by then :-) it would mean being there from about 1pm till 12 at night though so a bit of a wait if your not helping! That offer is open to anyone going from Edinburgh , I'll have a couple of spare seats :-))

Daz, it's on 25th October  . Rowanrachel, I'd love to take you up on the offer of a lift. That would be fantastic, thank you ! I'll give you something for fuel. How would I go about asking to be a helper ? Email the IH office ? I'm just about to rejoin as a member, but was holding off from buying a ticket to the Demo until I knew whether or not I could get there. |

Coming from Aberdeen to help but working in Glasgow in the morning first. Does anyone know of any not too expensive b&bs in the area?

I filled out the form on "contact us" here on the home page. I see on facebook though that Brenda was off today with a bug. Is there an address to email her directly ? I'll PM you my mobile number anyway rowanrachel. Even if I can't help at the demo, I really do appreciate being able to get there and back thanks to you offering a lift |

Me too rowanrachel !
I've been to a Monty Demo before, at Gleneagles, and thoroughly enjoyed every minute. It will be very interesting to see, and be part of everything being set up. Seeing things from a different angle instead of just sitting in a chair for the duration of the Demo. ;D

I went to one a couple of years ago (along with Sned and a couple of friends). Good night, very interesting watching the actual join-up being done, and Monty's quite the showman.

Last time I went was in 2009. I bought Monty's book, From My Hands To Yours, and got it signed by Monty and Kelly. I'll have to buy a new one though. I lent that one to a friend, well, we swapped books to read then return. She didn't ever give me my book back though, but I still have her copy of Richard Maxwell's Training Your Young Horse. Her "Max" book isn't signed...my Monty book is, and I haven't seen or heard from her for quite a while now so can't return her book. She's a lovely person though so I don't mind that she has my signed book, I'll just buy a new one. Daz, are you going again this time ? |

I'm sad to have to say this, but I can't come to the Demo now.
Major drama involving my EX yard owner, my 3 year old filly is possibly IN FOAL to any one of my EX yard owner's 5 entire Warmblood cross colts !!!
I have removed my filly from this yard.
My vet is coming out on Thursday to scan my filly, who actually LOOKS pregnant now.
To say I am annoyed, is a major understatement.
The EX yard owner didn't even have the guts to tell her mare owning liveries that HER entire colts got out of their field and in with our mares. The colts also had access to their own dams and sisters !!!
