Anyone else need a small fortune to enter equifest

[blueeyed20girl]

I have had my schedule a while now, i have 3 horses qualified but looking like only going to be taking one and am going to struggle to do that
what with the cost of stables and entry fees plus diesel the lorry will use its looking like a further away dream at the min.
I havnt even booked my stable yet and there isnt many left.

Would someone like to send me a money tree? ;D ;D

It is a lot cheaper doing Equifest than BSPS Champs !!! The classes entry are half the cost !! I do agree though it soon adds up. I was taking 2 ponies but now only taking 1.

[TooManyColoureds]

i agree ! i am taking two this year and we are doing friday and sat at equifest and sunday at the world championship of colour with the bspa and have spent over £500 on accomadation, stables and entry fees !

let me know if you find that money tree !! lol x

[blueeyed20girl]

Yes I will let you know IF i find the money tree! ;D
just looking on the online form for stables and im guessing all the blue ones are sold out know can only select pink day stables. oops! looks like i might have missed out for another year. my fault but hey cannot afford everything.

[TooManyColoureds]

i think there are still blue stables left .. i booked one earlier on today. if your not sure give them a ring. x

[blueeyed20girl]

i have emailed but will ring in office hours tomorrow hope there is a few left, im a long way away to go every day lol xx

My friend tried to book a blue stable earlier online today and it wasn't an option so are they all sold out? Luckily I did mine Saturday can't wait my entries and stabling cost £250 but becoming a member helped a lot with cost and it's our horsey holiday so don't mind too much

[jodievn]

They are making some pink duration stables I think

[jodievn]

You can no longer book blue stables online as only 62 left I think it's by fax or post Betsy just told me on Facebook as they don't want to over book x

[TooManyColoureds]

i called equifest today and asked if i could have my stables together as i have qualified my other pony on sunday and needed to book him a stable aswell and they said thats fine so i emailed my form over and i have got an email back saying thanks and the conformation will be sent in the post so i think there are some left.x

Acoording to their website as of 1st June only 82 blue stables left.

Can I have a share of that tree too?

I'm taking 2 ponies, and so far my costs are:
Stabling - £270
Entries - £235
Trailer Hire - £120 (I don't have a box)

And thats before you even add diesel, food etc. Ouch!

[barclaybob]

please can i share too :-)
we are also taking 2
Stabling £270
Entries and membership £240 (I have made a member though otherwise my entries would have been £290
Diesel...... ouch... oh well, like someone else has said this too is our holiday this year so there will be no beach for us! just plaiting, bathing and shovelling sh....... :-)

[misssmith6]

We are supposed to be taking 3 but I haven't done entries yet, I plan to sell a kidney to pay for it all!! Going to have to think hard about taking all 3 which is a shame realyl. I hope everyone does well

[bessieboo]

I think we're going to go as I totted up my entries for BSPS champs for one pony and entries and stabling were going to cost me over £400!! So we're going to take 2 to Equifest I think!

[blueeyed20girl]

yea someone else said bsps champs was double the price! its getting so so hard to carry on, me and my sister do it as a team, im 24 and she is 21 both not earing mega bucks a week, run the lorry, horses etc between us.
I dont think im going to be able to afford to go after totting it all up last night its a lot of money that i havent got at the min

[gem86]

I'm having it as a holiday so can just about justify it. I agree it's not so bad compared to many other big shows. I'm emptying my savings to go, can't wait!

[bunny]

we are just taking one for my two girls to share, I normally run the gauntlett of trying to get two last minute stables for the champs as its often the only way we can afford it but we missed out last year for that reason so this year, one stable booked and paid for, one pony, no stress, feet up.

equifest is still alot cheaper than ponies uk and bsps .
