Hey, has anyone had really good seats at the olympia horse show, london?

Question

i have 3rd row seats wondering if anyone else has also had a great ticket!

Answer 1

i was VERY lucky to be taken for the saturday evening performance in a Box,with a lovely meal and a great view.It was and is an unforgettable experience.Going back a few ! years,i went with my father and sat with the competitors as he was helping Mike Cresswell showjumping that day.During the performance i was just sitting watching and the lights dimmed and a barrow of fruit was wheeled in and a spotlight shone on it,--then to great and rapturous applause the mighty ARKLE with Pat Taffe riding came into the arena,walked upto the barrow and started eating the fruit,it was an amazing thing to witness.When he was in the spotlight the poem to the horse was read out and there was not a dry eye in the house.Years later i went to the racing museum in Dublin and saw Arkles skeleton,and thought about that night again-thank you for reminding me of what was a highlight in my horse life.
