From The Royal Windsor Horse Show To The Bedford Kite Festival

May is a busy busy time for us!

The year of Old Tyme Funfairs is always a steady one, until this point of the year when we sprint directly into organised chaos. Not that we’re complaining, we love this time of year, and what’s better is the sun has been shining gloriously over the past few weeks, putting smiles on everyone's faces.

On the 14th of May we had the pleasure of attending the Royal Windsor Horse Show which proved to be a massive success. The stands were packed and the horses looked in their prime as professional showman from all 4 corners of the globe performed in a number of different categories.

Unfortunately, we were busy manning the stalls and rides, so didn't have as much time as we would have liked to witness the beautiful horses in action, but what we did manage to see was a combination of technical excellence and sheer brilliance from everyone who participated.

One of our favourite events which we did manage to catch this year was the Alltech Grand Prix where a mixture of riders battled it out for the prestigious Kingdom of Bahrain Trophy. We were delighted when Robert Whitaker won as we had been following his progress throughout the show.

The crowds were as busy as they ever had been and we were very pleased to have been invited to the Royal Windsor Horse Show 2014. If we weren't too much trouble this year we would be thrilled to come back this time next year and experience what is sure to be another magnificent show.

If you enjoyed both our rides and the horses rides whilst at the Royal Windsor Horse Show, then please be sure to visit www.rwhs.co.uk where you can read up on all the events of the week and catch up on any of the events you might have missed. As well as this, Royal Windsor Hose Show have been uploading stunning images from throughout the show to their Facebook page which you can find at:


Now that the Royal Windsor Horse show is over we will be turning our attentions to Bedford on the 24th of May for a 3 day kite show that brings together people from all over the world to compare and fly their fantastically designed kites. A lot of effort goes into not only designing kites, but making them too and we cannot wait to see some of the beautiful creations that people bring this coming weekend.

Thanks for reading our blog, and more importantly thanks to those of you who came to see us during the Horse Show! Maybe we will see some of you on the 24th of May in Bedford for the Bedford Kite Festival? We do hope so!
