Amateur Showing Champs *with pics*

[fjudge]

I posted this in the lounge, but think it is more appropriate here

Well...i wont go through it all in detail! But...

<u>Day 1 </u>-

Novice WH Horse 2'3 - 1st
Open WH Horse 2'9 - 2 stops at ditch, 2nd
(So into eve. performance for championship of ring 4)

<u>Day 1 Eve performance</u> -

Did the pairs with a pony skye had never met or practiced with!!! Was quite amusing and i just went round with Amy saying "kick" the whole time!!! hehe you will see why with the pics...
Anyways, Amy and i won the pairs!

Then in the ring 4 championship, skye was very good, despite spooking in my gallop : and we got...CHAMPION!!!

Mum had come down for the night and everyone was so happy she got champion. She was such a good girl :-*

<u>Day 2</u> -

Riding horse - 1st
Intermediate WH horse - 1 pole, 3rd
Ridden hunter - looked rather small against the huge horses!! But came a respectable 3rd

Grand Priz WH horse - 2nd
(Into championship for ring 1 and 4)

<u>Day 2 Eve. Performance</u> -

Not placed in ring 1 (ridden) championship, the lady liked skye very much, but the man wanted the bay to go reserve, so he argued his way!

oh well.

Same in the workers championship, but skye was very well behaved again.

Supreme - Not placed, but skye went very well and was very good.

She was absolutely shattered after doing 4 classes and going in to the eve performance 3 times on the second day. She was an absolute STAR all weekend. :-*

Some more pics of the eve performance on day 1...(some scary pics of skye with funny eyes!!)...

Sorry there are so many pics!!!

Brill pics and you both look really smart....I love looking at your pics...gives me some idea of what I'm meant to be aiming for lol...

What was that show you were at, do you have to qualify for it??

Aww thanks...thats so nice of you to say!

The champs were over 2 days and on the first day there were non-qualified classes for everyone. On the 2nd day and end of the first day there were classes that people qualified for at different shows.

Here is the website...

Cool thanks for the link

I really like showing although my poor OH that gets dragged along thinks its boring lol...we did a WH class yesterday and came 4th which was really good as we hadnt really prepared at all...and didnt look anything as smart as the others lol...noted some good things to do for next time though, i.e pull her tail (OH NO its sooo lovely

), double bridle or fake!!!!

Skye looks lovely and you obviously did very well! We were entered for this show but in the end I decided that the travelling would be too much for me and the pony in our slow old box. It looks like we missed a good weekend!
