I promised you all pictures

Well, we are home from our first show, and what a show it was!
We got there about half 8, Blue barn is only 2 minutes away from us, we took him in the trailer and wanted to get there early as we are not great at unloading yet.
But he came off brilliantly, and i took him into the ring for a look around, bless him his eyes were out on stalks.
We were in the 3rd class, and he walked round with OH wonderfully. There were 6 in the class, and , well I cant believe I am typing this, but look what he has pinned to him!!!!

My God!!! He won!!!
The next class he came 3rd, out of 3, and then he had the championships which he wasnt placed.
But the judge gave OH so so many tips and loads of advice, told us of a couple of pieces of tack we needed, and that Oh needed to move abit quicker to allow Donovan to show his true stride. But she says we have a lovely looking pony which could be very successful in showing, once we have got the hang of what to do, and all the correct bits and bobs.
Can you tell how proud I am!!!
