Recycled Live is BACK!

Sometimes you just need to do the thing and yesterday I very much just did the thing! I booked the hall and I can officially say that Recycled Live is back for it's sixth show!

If you've never attended a Recycled Live before they are basically your usual model horse show but with a couple of twists. The first twist is that all the certificates, rosettes and other awards are 'recycled'. So you really won't know what you'll get! We have boxes and boxes of these so I very much knew I had to run the show again in order to use them up! This also means we can keep the entry fee really low as basically the only money we spend is the hall hire, BMECS qualification and some tea, coffee, sugar and bin bags (although in keeping with the show maybe we could avoid all plastic waste this year)!

It is also a British breeds only live show. Remember Lah Di Dah Live? Well this is what it is now! It still has the amazing British breeds only schedule with Performance and UK workmanship as well. This is a great show as it allows you to bring out horses you wouldn't normally bring out. No more trying to squish all your ponies into one British Native class, nope, instead you've got separate classes for all the breeds! No more trying to decide which Welsh to bring, nope, one class for each section! With sections for OF, CM, ARC and CTF you can also show all your horses.

If you want to attend spaces are limited, all the information you need is below but if you don't even want to read that and you're thinking YES PLEASE THIS SOUNDS AWESOME! Then click the link and buy your ticket :D
