horse trials.
we had a good day - the friends hadn't been before, but enjoyed the shopping, the children enjoyed the play area - I enjoyed the shopping, molly has a new bridle! she doesn't have a new bit or a mattes correction pad, but hey ....
didn't see many horses; my ankles had given up by then! watched some showjumping (that was a CCI* as well...), there was a disabled rider demonstrating dressage to music - the RDA was the charity this year.
the UK version of Ansur were there jean - total saddle solutions it is now over here... and i went into one leather/saddle place, earwigged a bit of conversation and said "how do I know you're talking about treeless?"!!!! they were of course, so had a bit of a chat - the saddler not convinced!
the car? i've done 300 miles on 1/2 a tank, which is about £25, so that's really good, very pleased. handles well, lots of oomph when needed! and it's got much better lights than my previous one, and the heating/air con/etc is automatic, you just set the temperature you want and it does it all for you.
very impressed.

Did you pop into the Total Solutions booth? Maybe Peter was there.
Did you go for the trials or the shopping? *VBWG*
Fun nevertheless, even if you didn't see any cross country. Too much walking for me too nowadays, only it's my knees.
Glad you had a good time--and that you bought stuff!!!
no, didn't go into the total solutions stand - too busy and, tbh, from what i could see on the saddles from the front, not keen
tbh i went for the shopping .. but didnt' get what i wsa looking for and came away with something i hadn't planned on!!!! (the bridle!!!)
but friends were really keen to make this an annual event, which is good ...
