I think we attended the worst show ever yesterday ,it was a yearly thing a bit like a small agricultural show which now dosent have much of the agriculture anymore ,few sheep and goats along with a horse section ,health and saftey have prevented the horse show being held on the main field for the last few years due to acess and parking ect so they have tried to revive it by holding it a bit further away ok i thought needs supporting off we went omg they had set the rings on what was essentially a grass verge at the side of the small rd through the park playing fields they couldnt get permission to use the sports fields as they were for football ,this annoys me that all sports field tend to be for football them that be need to realise that equestrianisum is also a sport ,these rings were the smallest i have ever seen the horse walks were narrow and riders had to negociate their way past a gazebo over a bridge to get to the rings which were quite walk from parking which was accessed via small rd under very low tree branches which no one had thought to trim back the rain made it immpossible to ride on the ground most horses couldnt get their feet out of the mud that this lawned grass verge turned into withing minutes of the horses going on it ,i really appauld the people who wher trying to revive the horse section of this little show but to think they could hold it on a grass verge was in fact stupid beyond belief ,i hope they can persuede those that be to give them somewhere better to have it next year although they will have their work cut out getting people to return after this years fiasco.
