Olympia thread :o)

I think I might actually be going! Will be rooting for Goose (Shilstone Rocks Snow Goose) on Monday.

Excellent - we'll watch out for "Goose" as well. Not sure who we want to win but probably the Roan Sec B, Muskerry Blue Danube, if he has qualified. Do you know where there is a list of qualified ponies - doesn't seem to be on either the Olympia or NPS websites.

I'll ask today, someone might know.

apparently it IS on the nps site but I can't find it!

I definitely can't go, will be house-sitting up until Christmas Eve

We are going on the Friday afternoon. DS is well excited, and has been pretending to be a Police horse for the last 3 days..

i am thinking of going on friday , how do you find out when the different classes are on, ?

I was thinking of seeing what tickets are left as dd's school has just suddenly announced two extra inset days at the end of term.

Mummydoc, I have a flyer here that was in a horsey mag. For Friday it says:-
Morning - Accenture young show jumper of the year warm up. Afternoon - The Kennel Club medium dog jumping Grand Prix, Jean-Francois Pignon and his astounding white horses, Shetland pony grand national, Metropolitan police musical ride, Interval, Christmas pudding stakes, Finale. Evening is the same except the jumping after the interval is The christmas stakes. HTH.

Oh sorry, forgot Accenture young show jumper of the year is before the Kennel club. Argh and it's Christmas Cracker, not Christmas pudding stakes, I was copying the wrong bit.

Sorry, sorry, I'm trying to be helpful but just making things worse. NOT Christmas stakes it's the PUISSANCE in the evening. Tell you what here's the website

thankyou pixel

puissance

This takes me back - I used to drag my reluctant parents along to this every year. Just thinking about Olympia makes me feel all christmassy.

I still don't like the puissance. Too horrid, A bit like the Grand NationAL.
