My Daughter's Show Debut!

[Tillypup]

Well we did it! I took my daughter and the little pony she rides along to a local show at the weekend. We did the lead rein class (5th out of 5 LOL!) and I took the pony in to the in-hand M&M (she's part-bred Welsh) and we were 4th out of 8.

I was as nervous as hell as I haven't shown a pony in about 20 years and have never done a lead rein class before!! My daughter has been practising her salute lots!! I think she "rode" the pony more than the other riders in the class, whoops! But, she enjoyed her day out and we are already planning our next outing!! She had a lesson the next day and was pleased as punch to show her instructor her rosettes and then try some "dressage"!!

The day went well until I realised I'd left the girth at home Luckily the show was 5 mins from home so hubby unhitched the trailer and whizzed off to get it! Phew!! The pony was a superstar, though I think really she wanted to eat the lovely lush grass rather than do much else!!

Here are some pics that my hubby took and then a link to the club's website where there is a nice pic!

A well done pat on the back!

Well, here's the link to my FB album of the day. I'm sure I have post pics before so will have to delve the depths of my memory to work out how!

Lovely photo's and well done to you and your daughter! Completely beside the point but I was at the same show! It's a small world lol

Thanks! Yes she did enjoy herself, and tired herself out too!!

I don't think we will delve too deeply into the show world but it is great for a youngster (human or equine) to do it as an opportunity to get out and about!!

My daughter is currently have a fortnightly lesson on the little pony, plus riding her 2 or 3 times a week. We may be starting Pony Club soon! yikes!
