Keysoe Unaff Stressage Tuesday 6th Feb

[FMM]

Bl00dy cold (-5 when we arrived). Little lorry broke down, we we only took 5 in the big lorry which was a shame. Got 70% in my prelim test

she was a listed BD judge, but I think she was being kind! Much higher standard than the last Keysoe with lots of "proper" dressage people prancing around. Came 5th and was very pleased with him. Pics of Brocket (the grey) and Dinger (the new coloured baby cob at his first party!)

well done and lovely horses..and there is snow!!

 

[FMM]

THanks! Actually, it wasn't real snow, it was just frost on Tuesday (-5 as I said). Today keysoe has 3 to 4" and it is only 0 degrees, so not as cold, but feels absolutely FREEZING!

Both nice horse. Dinger very pretty!

 

[Hornby]

They both look lovely - but why "dinger"? - sounds like an odd name for such a handsome chap!

 

[FMM]

It is short for Humdinger! Keysoe (I think my writing must be very poor) often rename the horses. Last time Brocket went european and became "Brochet" and this time Dinger became "Ginger".

Well done, lovely horses!

 

[Ash the arab]

Well done - you had a very good result!!
It does look VERY cold there though!!

 

[Hornby]

Ok...yes he is definitely a "humdinger!"

But they need their eyes testing if they think he's ginger!! I think Brocket sounds like a useful bit of machinery (although I also think of Lord Brocket who is not such a good and useful thing...bit of a cad

).

 

[FMM]

I am afraid his show name IS Lord Brocket. It costs £300 to change the name, so Lord Brocket he shall remain!

 

[Taboo1968]

Well done, very respectable percentage and both lovely horses!
