Ok, so on Monday, My friend and I, along with her cousin and nanna went along to Olympia, it's basically this huge horse show that runs over a weekend in december, it's a must for horse owners and riders at christmas time. I got up super early so we could get there i to literally drag myself around to feed my animals and get dressed in time!!
After walking all of her dogs and getting on a bus we finally got to the station at about 9:20, so we ended up waiting until 9:30 so we could get the cheaper off peak travel. I hate trains, like super hate them and they were even worse this time as there were so many people on them, by the time we had finally got there it was pouring down with rain and we were soaking and then trying to find the shopping hall entrance was hell on earth...we finally got there though, but i couldn't believe i had to pay £10 to get in when i had been told constantly it was only £5! Ok well, i spent alot, i spent all my money and had to borrow money (after a fight because i wouldnt allow it lol) It's the worst thing ever when you want something SO BAD, and actually need something that bad to, but you can't get it, and then your friend tells you they are get it FOR you and it makes you feel even more awful! But i had an incredible time, i mean, we did want to see the show in the evening, but we couldn't get tickets, and in a way, that was ok, because it meant we had to money left over to spend on things that we wanted to buy instead :) and we did get to see a little of one of the shows during the day just by standing outside the arena and watching from there, the horses were incredible so so amazing....
So by the end of the day we had bought..
Two personalised jackets
Hundreds of horse treats
Hats
Gloves
boots (horses)
Bentley non-slip grooming kit and bag
rug bags
feed supplements
horses for heroes charity items including badges, bracelets and fleeces
loads of free horsey things

annnnndddd then of course a yummy fat buster smoothie from crush :)
Then there was the getting everything home, in the pouring rain, and on the London train network, oh what fun that was! But literally had an immense day :) Defiantly going again next year and this time booking earlier so i know that i will get a space for the live show in the evening :)
Then when home a quick cuppa soup then off to the yard to muck out and have a ride in the rain :)
Olympia...until next year! :) xx
