equifest that's early! Entered this year but, didn't come because we were to tired after ponies (uk)! Hope to come next year!!

[cassie30]

Wow, well done Equifest team! thanks so much! xx

[Jolie]

Looks good!

Just 2 points...... on the friday there is 3 classes for the ridden m&m, I would like to do all 3 classes but to do all those in one day is just too much!!! Also can we have a ridden m&m section indoors please??

[kayjayem]

Are you having novice ridden M&M next time - really missed it with baby pony this year

[bowditchblobs]

Looks realy good, nice to see the m@ms split up more and the coloured babies got two coloured yearlings to bring out, hated the thought of going up agaisnt the three year olds! Like the sunday schedule! Got six ponies to bring so i'll be busy!!!

[kayjayem]

yeah me too - it'll be eeny - meeny - miney - mo!

[bmrh]

Yer they need to included novice m&m riddens and workers ! would be great

[lecfec]

Has anyone else looked at the M&M LR & FR classes.

The times look really tight again especially on Thursday and Friday. There are 4 novice classes starting at 8.30 and 4 open classes starting at 10.30. Is there a reason why we can't have one set in the morning and one set in the afternoon?
Friday the mini M&M's times are close to the junior handler classes which again many of the children like to do both.
This year the mini M&M classes ran late and as they were huge took a long time to judge. When our classes ended up clashing we transfered to another class (which we hadn't previously entered because the times looked too close) and when inevitably they clashed as well we did not get a refund. With the scheduling so close again next year I will definitely think twice before entering.

[candyfloss]

can i ask in ring 3 on thursday, there is a open 128 sp and a 148 sp but not a 138 sp, is this a mistake or is there not that class on that day?
thanks.

[snowflake]

Maybe 13.2's go in with 14.2's?

Hope so!!

[equifest]

Just to confirm - on Thursday the 138cms are in with the 148cms. If we get sufficient 138cms Show Ponies we will divide the classes - but the Show Pony classes have not been that well supported over the last two years - so we have not put on the full range of classes on all days.

Yours sincerely,

we'r realy looking forward to coming this year. Mum said she will be up for stewarding if needed

[Helen E]

I see you are having a Rare Breeds championship on the Saturday. Other than the Cleveland Bay classes, where are the classes for other "Rare" breeds??? Royal London ran Foreign/Rare breeds classes that had good pre-entries. There is nothing on your schedule that I could enter my horse in. He is Friesian, and as I have sold my carriage, I can't even do the World Breeds driving class with him! It's a shame, as we really enjoyed the first Equifest with our other driving horse, but have been unable to attend subsequently due to having no classes.

[piggy]

Same to Helen - spotty classes please!

[lips36]

i went to a local showthis yr to qualify for this and i won the class when i rang about they said there was no inhand coloured i have to say was a bit well ya know but hey im hoping they wiill this yr as i dont think my mare will be ready to do the ridden classes as i can not seem to get the link to play with my laptop can any1 help and tell me.

[dancha]

Yeh looks good, im glad you have split the in hand classes more, looks great, are the classes on the friday medal classes for the welshes?? just one thing i would like is to have one of my in hand classes indoors, went indoors last year in the championship and its great so would love to be in there for a class in the day, just incase i dont get in championship!!!

role on the judges!!!

[dancer]

Any idea how much stables will be? - didn't stop over last year but coming for the duration this time!

[hacklover]

can we get rid of that spotlight thing that they kept shining on the winning ponies as people fell off and I have a young child going in!!! Scary. Brilliant show, well done.

[honeypot]

I can not believe I am looking forward to this already. Must get out more.

[crazybird]

could anyone tell me how this show works??? sounds a silly question but going for first time this year and have a few questions.

if i qualify at one of the affiliated shows then am i eligible to enter any of the other classes at equifest?? ie; if i go in the riding horse class at prestige and qualify, will i be able to come to equifest and do more than just that class that i qualified for??

also how much is stabling here? and do you have to be an equifest member to compete at the show?

Thanks

[serendipity]

Yes of course you can enter any appropriate class. Its just that the classes marked with Equifest in bold are championship classes and you have to have qualified to enter - mind you you can qualify at Equifest.

[dancer]

Stables are £100 for the duration (I believe) & no, you don't have to be a member to compete but get reduced entry fees if you are!

[talisker]

wow how organised!

[cayo]
