Given the ongoing debates about falling entries, showing styles etc I'm interested in what factors would encourage you to enter a show

Looking forward to your replies !

Good venue - Three Counties Show Ground

Reasonable Entry Fee - Most C Shows

Reasonable Stabling Fees - Any other breed Society if they use the Three Counties Show Ground

DCs who STOP all the bl**dy outside interferance from spectators

Judges, who encourage and help amateur competitors rather than dismissing them

Helpful Stable Managers/Admin Staff

Displays - Dressage to music etc - where the professionals show us amateurs how to do it

From a ridden perspective:
Good working in areas
Large size ring, level going
Pleasant competitors, no bitching about results!
Excellent Knowledgeable stewards (Alec Knott would be perfect!)
Qualifiers for other shows

Hi Mandy

excellent question
and for me personally and not neccesarily in order of preference

venue both location and quality of going
set up of show ie safe and user friendly for horses and humans both competitors and spectators
facilities parking,catering,loos
good viewing facilities
good communication of when classes are on
good announcer
variety of classes
good judges
good atmosphere
good stewarding and organisation
approachable and helpful show secretaries

smiling competitors who are there to show their horses,
regardless of their placing,that they Cherise and adore

ummmm sounds like a certain show that's coming up in the near future that has the words welsh and crabbet in it's title
