Has anyone else spent the ENTIRE day at a show?

[seeker]

And is now exhausted,filthy, starving, desperate for drink and sunburnt?

[MitchyInge]

not us! how did you get on?

[frostyfingers]

Never mind the exhausted, filthy, starving, desperate for drink - where the hell did you manage to get sunburn? (not where on your body btw, where in the country...!?)

[MrsBadger]

yes, but we were only watching, so were able to stop for burgers / icecream / morris men etc

dd was enraptured by the side saddle period-costume class [sigh]

[MitchyInge]

it's been quite sunburny in my bit of East Anglia, not that have ever had sunburn personally

[Pixel]

I was meant to be going to a show in a groom/ponysitter capacity, but in the end my services weren't required so I couldn't justify leaving dh with the dcs all day. Not when I left him to it last week while I swanned of to Hickstead .

very sunburny it was in Kent - and a show with no beer tent - dp decidedly unimpressed!

Dd got through to the jump off in her class, but doesn't know how to bat round against the clock so got another clear but too slow for a place. She doesn't care though - she is still on cloud nine at getting two clears in her first proper show!

[MitchyInge]

oh well done her, sounds like it was all worth it!

[seeker]

She is now talking about writing to the organizers of the next show asking for a "Horse and Rider with Most Similar Hair Colour" class! A glance at my profile will tell you why!

[MitchyInge]

oh that's such a good idea!
