Hooray for Billy at Larkill :D !!

A lovely report and exactly why we do this! Really love the family photo. Funny that dad was being Monty for someone else too :)
 
Gosh - totally overwhelmed by all of your lovely comments! Thank you so much to each and every one of you who have taken time to read and write such kind words, it means an awful lot to me :)

Luckily Billy is quite tolerant of a shampoo and blow dry as he spends 99% of his time as a bay horse ;) Aren't horses descendants of Hippos or something...?:rolleyes:

And just a cheeky snap of Stan having a quick game of scramble in the iPhone with Mum before SJ....

Thanks again everyone :)
 
That is brilliant and then when I read he fractured a leg a few years ago :eek: I turned into a blubbing mess :o

Carrot and Polo power is the the way forward thats for sure :D

Thanks K! In fairness the judge was obviously very generous as overall the scores were nice, but SHHHHH we won't tell anyone ;) He is so special to me and he owes me absolutely nothing so there is never going to be any pressure on him but I think he loves it as much as I do :D

Monty Roberts did make me laugh though :D

I get so emotional over this horse. I have never had one like him and I don't think there ever will be another Billy :)
Me and Mum were a giggling mess which was actually quite useful for suppressing the butterflies! Not only have I got amazing little horses, but I have amazingly supportive parents :D I'm a very lucky duck

I think if Star hadn't been there to keep me chatting at the end of the XC then I would have been sobbing into my little pony's mane :o
 
lol, glad we managed to avoid any sobbing! Was on such a high I couldn't shut up! Took me the rest of the day to calm down. Billy is such a cool dude - he made the whole day look so easy - just needs to pass on some calm dressage tips to Montster!
 
What a star!
Fabulous really well done, and do I spy a 9 on that dressage sheet!
I dream of a 9 , be100 here you come ! Enjoy that high its really well deserved
 
Bloomin' marvellous :D Well done to you, Billy and all of the support team. What a fantastic day and a lovely report :)
 
lovely little report and glad I got to witness it all!! :)
where to go after a 22?! :)
and good to meet you star!!! hopefully see you soon and some more events!!!!
 
What a fantastic result! Massive well done, especially for keeping your cool through all the phases and for bringing him back to the top after a broken leg (wow!)!
