Thanks for the good advice both on the line-up and the QM's ! In the line up, I was pulled in 3rd ahead of a beautiful grey that in my opinion should have been 1st or second at least, the judge came around and started comparing our horses. Toby was stood properly and as he holds himself nicely in an outline (yippee!) was showing off, the grey was stood relaxed but the places stood ! Shock horror, I've was expecting the 4th place ! Anyway, not sure if it was the way we were stood or down to confirmation but I was very happy none the less ! On to the QM's ! I printed out your diagrams and had about 3 of the vertical lines across his quarters and some sharks teeth on his flanks, for a first attempt, I didn't think they were too bad. So thank you for taking the time to reply !

No worries, I don't mind at all. It sounds like you really enjoyed your day, and that's what it's all about! Did you take any photos? I'd love to see you both all dolled up!

Not this time around but we're out again next weekend so hopefully will get one next weekend (last show of the season for us - onto 1DE and dressage after) and would like a 'poshed up' photo ! How did you get on ?

I had a good weekend, I had some lower placings with my 4yo riding horse inhand (the RH judge said she wasn't a riding horse, and the hack judge said she was definately a RH - but that's showing for you!), and my 4yo cob was a real sweetie, winning his inhand class on Monday (our first trophy!) and a 4th in the ridden cobs in a really strong class, even beating a HOYS cob, so I was really chuffed for only his 2nd outing under saddle.
Like you, we didn't get any photos, but there was a photographer there, so I'm keeping an eye on the website to see if there are any good ones.
