I've been a few times but since selling my horse, kind of lost interest!

It's a really good day out, especially if you get to watch the Puissance.

I remember watching Ellen Whitaker at Olympia in 2009, on this mental horse.

Very impressive how she managed to 1, stay on and 2, keep it under control!

A girl I know was a good way toward qualifying, but her mum got ill and she couldn't quite get enough points because she was looking after her, which must have been disappointing for her. yes, I would.

Bit of a celebration afterwards, the champagne was flowing.
Not long home....otherhalf drove back....it was a very long day (we were in the yard at 05:00 this morning).
