Book accommodation for the Horse of the Year Show at NEC Birmingham

Unbridled Fun - Horse of the Year Show, NEC

Whilst we may not all be able to take a dip in the surf on our annual holiday in Cornwall, even members of the King’s Troop Royal Artillery are probably booking their accommodation and tickets for the Horse of the Year Show 2011. You may like to join them as the Horse of the Year Show begins on the 5th of October 2011 and promises to be an exciting competition for equestrian lovers, (army) and families!

There is a consensus among the team here at Eventful Stays that you might rather watch from the comforts of a seat in the NEC in Birmingham than get up to the antics of the King’s Troop Royal Artillery who were spotted taking a chilly dip in the sea on horseback!
