I wasn't sure whether to post about this or not, but decided it would be best to clarify things.
I received this PM after posting about Tobago's first foal winning British National Champion at the national Arab show:
"Congratulations on Tobago`s colt going BNC......BUT can I just clarify something? Was he the only horse forward in this class?
I have had an e.mail and numerous calls to say he was.
If that is the case then it is a very hollow victory."
So there has clearly been a rumour going round. Just to set the record straight: Poseidon was the only foal in the 'weaned or orphan foal' class. He then went on into the championship, up against ALL the other first- and second-placed foals from ALL the foal classes at the national show, and he beat them ALL to win the national championship.
This was hardly a 'hollow victory'!!!
I hope this is all now clear and there will be no more unfounded rumours.
As I don't know where the rumours originated, I will post this in Picture Gallery and NL as well.
I'm not angry, but it is rather sad that people are so quick to believe unpleasant and totally unfounded rumours, don't you think?
Here is Poseidon, just so that anyone who missed this knows who we are talking about (and because he's cute)!
