I'm still hoping to get my section A in to some local in hand classes at some point. He's such an evil ratbag! I did manage to get to one show to give him a look around but he reared up and wrapped his front legs round my neck. I'm fairly used to this sort of behavior from him but everyone around me was understandably horrified! Hopefully we'll have more luck this year...

This is Desi...he is a late teens/twenty something part bred arab. We do hacking and some local showing.....he does very well in the veteran and part-bred classes. This year I AM going to do some ridden classes with him...normally I take the back-burner because I am general dogsbody/groom for my daughter and her pony Toby......

I've got 2 coloureds, one non native 14.2hh and one non native 15.2hh, both will be showing CHAPS and BSPA, but errrrr, nither are actually backed yet.... Better pull my finger out and get on with it!
 
This is Rupert, my daughter's hunting / pc pony. He is 13.2hh, 8 yr old Irish, unregistered Connie. He looks like a bog pony right now but in the summer scrubs up well and does very well in WHP / M&amp;M classes. I am very proud of him, and totally in love with him! I am especially proud of him as he'd never done anything other than hunt when we got him, was all upside down having had a standing martingale on for 4 years of hunting, and has really worked hard to come good. It brings tears to my eyes to watch him in the ring. (Ridden by a friend).

This is Polo, my hunter. He is 9 yr old 16.1hh Irish gelding. He hunts during the winter and plays about in the summer. He does well in Ridden Hunter classes, and some Show Hunter, but never too well in WH as he prefers a lead over fences (we've been eliminated from a few!) (again ridden by a friend). His biggest confirmation fault is the hole between his ears where a brain should be!
