Looking for shared transport for one horse. Or a cheap hire for the first Sunday. Second Saturday and third Sunday? Would be needed from early morning and late evening if through as booking stables anyway! Please let me know if you have a hire vehicle are going yourself or could do lifts from northcote stud to croft top:)

could you post the pre enteries so far for this sunday please?

Post by dawnie on Oct 2, 2014 21:00:21 GMT
I don't have access to the pre-entries sorry. We have never posted the pre-entries as all classes have a NBT and will never start a class before that time but usually start roughly on time. As a rule many people enter on the day, literally an hour before the class is due to start so they pre-entries are never a true reflection of the class size. Your are more than welcome to ring the show day mobile if want a count up on the day. 07748 405053.

On the morning of the show last year we checked entries when collecting numbers and it had around 22 entries, then when the class was on there was nearly 50 entries.. so the majority dont enter till the day xxx

This is the same as the website so not sure?

Post by notpicky on Oct 18, 2014 9:01:59 GMT
For some reason I thought C Norlander was judging? It was a couple of weeks ago when I looked at the website though so they may not have been updated then?

Post by dawnie on Oct 19, 2014 1:25:53 GMT
Sorry just seen your post. Unfortunately C Norlander had to cancel. K Logan will now be judging.

What a shame I would have still have come if I had known who the change of judge was!
