We were going to go, but we changed our minds and bought tickets for Olympia in December instead because it fits in better with school holidays.

Used to go every year though. smile

my other half has just rang to say she's taking loads of pictures (although I doubt she'll take the "sort" of shot you'd be interested in) biggrin

my other half has been the last two years, this is my first visit...the horse she looks after has won the overall class this afternoon after winning its class this morning and has to be here for Sunday evenings supreme horse of the year
to say she is happy would be a massive understatement smile

How are they served? On bread? Or with some potatoes and seasonal vegetables?

What class was the horse in Y2? My folks were in to show horses and ponies (though now out of it all) and have been quite successful over the years. We've had winners at HOYS in show ponies, show hunters, hacks and cobs. I've been 2nd in show pony pairs and 13hh show ponies, never made it to the top step personally. Mind, this was 30 years ago when it was at Wembley.
