Side Saddle Championships Addington. Anyone going?

[ajay]

Is anyone going to Addington next month? This is going to be our first trip and I was wondering if anyone was going or been before?

Its a bit scary as we have never been to such a big Show or travelled that far before and my daughter is getting worried that she will be out of her class.

I won't be going, but I wish you lots of luck, tell your daughter it a lovely venue for a show and just do her best and enjoy it. Good luck ;D

Hopefully I should be going - My friend from up't'north is hoping to bring her Dutch Warmblood down as she has entered him the last several years however he embarrassed her at the Cheshire County show thinking he was at a side-saddle demo and was a tad bit very silly (21 year old acting like a 2 year old !!! ) so she was taking him back to basics and entering a few local shows and waiting till the last minute to let me know if she is coming - which is sensible - we will be camping at the showground. It is a lovely venue and most of the people are very nice - certainly feel free to pm me and we can meet up for a lemonade at the show ....if we get there !

Thanks Guys. We are really looking forward to it. We have had a bit of a bumpy ride to get there. The horse my daughter qualified on has had to go back to his owner and we had a mad panic to find a new one. We now have a lovely 158cm but we have only had him two weeks. Its is going to be a very steep learning curve for both of them but we have had one trip out to Liskeard Show last week and to our amazement they came second in the Junior Equitation Class.

We have had some seriously bad luck this year with our horses so I hope it comes to an end before Addington.

Firefly lemonade sounds really good but I may be needing something stronger by then.

Are you going up on the Friday 4th? May persuade daughter to run me up!
