Our first show - photo!

[seabiscuit]

I just wanted to share this photo with you...it was at our first show (Lambourn) in June, and Brannock managed to win 2nd place in the youngstock class! Let me know what you think of him, and please ignore the funny looking woman in the hat!



first one's a bit small....and I think I should have tucked in my shirt! I'm such a showing novice!

Youngstock class? He looks very mature for a youngster, well done!

He was 3 in May, so at the upper end of the class!

He's s good looking lad!

He looks super Seabiscuit-------When's your next outing?

[Louise C]

Looks great - bet you have to keep an eye on his waistline!!

Lovely pony - looks like you need to move a bit faster though and yes shirt should be tucked in - well done

In their defense the last pic was just as they were coming out of the ring - they already had their pretty blue rosette, which you can just about make out in the picture! ;-)

He was an absolute angel and was certainly the most handsome there - the judge spent a while looking between him and the one that came first, so I really don't think there was much in it - and he behaved sooo much better than the winner, so I think he should have come first really!! Still, there is always next time!

I must say that you did well picking out those 3 pics - all the others were appalling - mainly because my ugly mug ended up in some or there was a bit of a ministry of funny walks theme going on! LOL! (Kirsty not Brannock!!).

Anyway, well done again - but watch out if you enter a M&M in hand class as you may have tough competition from Hanny next time!!

Thanks for all the comments!
SS3 - Next outing - hopefully end of July or August bank holiday. It's a matter of finding transport!
Louise C - His waistline (and neck!!!) I do have to watch. He survives on fresh air!
The shirt I was meaning to tuck in but it was one of those really hot sticky days...no excuse really but there we go! It was my first go at in-hand showing and my first show since I was 15, so I'm out of practice.
Lou - ministry of funny walks?!?! In one it looks like I've dislocated my knee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Very odd. Thanks for the piccies though, they're a great way of remembering the day. And let me know when you're going to enter Hanny, we'll be there with bells on!
