Cheeky free entry

Pussygalore · 23-09-2013, 11:51 AM

We went to the usual carboot at Stoneleigh yesterday and I noticed a sign saying Dressage Championships so after the carboot we walked across to have look. We went in through an open gate and saw some great Dressage including Carl Hester in the freestyle Grandprix. Looking on the website this morning it became clear that we should have paid £19 each for gate tickets

however no one was on the gate and I never even thought about it. We even sat in the stands which again as no one was there to check assumed they were free, anyway I thoroughly enjoyed my free dressage and some of the stands were well worth a look and you should have seen the size of the Horse boxes for sale.

Mind you I wasn't going to pay £5 for the cheapest sausage in a roll!.

well I think the main entrance was at the other end of the park, however not to have a secure barrier around the event was a bit silly, we just walked in. I saw a lovely dog collar but daren't ask the price as the stand was so posh but it was beautifully made and all leather lined in a different colour, Milo would have looked very posh in it and they were selling dog coats in the same material as the check horse blankets/rugs. I could have spent a lot of money there and little boots for dogs mind you I don't think he'd have liked wearing them.
