Dressage - Equestrian Olympic @ Shatin, HK on 090808

We have booked the tickets for Dressage-Equestrian since 1.5 months. By that time, most of the interesting events were already fully booked but only left those that are not so good ones :) We decided to watch two events ie Dressage (090808) and Jumping (150808).

Dressage

We left our apartment at about 6pm. The event will only start at 715pm. We took the shuttle bus to University Train Station and from there, we took a free shuttle service to Shatin Competition Venue. The journey supposed to be like 10 minutes but due to some unforseen circumtances the bus took approximately 30 minutes to reach the venue.

the VIP Suite

We left the venue at about 10.30 pm even though the event was not over. Do not want to stuck in the human jam again. By the time we reached the shuttle bus area, there were a lot of people waiting for the bus.

The next event that we will be watching is jumping, it will be held on tomorrow. Hopefully this event will be more interesting since Misha said that Dressage was really boring :(
