Went to Eastington yesterday and took my TB Ebony and my friends Welsh Cob Shy. Shy's owner entered him in to the in-hand Mountain and Moorland class, although he was not placed as he was a bit of a handful looking for my horse! She did very well to control him :D

They then went on to enter Shy in to the ridden Mountain and Moorland class, not realising they had forgotten a show jacket! We went around and asked a few people but decided to give up, and then as I had all my gear I volunteered to ride him for her and she agreed! Same happened as the in-hand class, wouldn't stand still and was far more interested in Ebony. We didn't get placed again but the judge LOVED him!!!!! Which was a bonus!!

After that I went on to jump Ebony in the 2'6" Show Jumping, She won me a 1st and with that came a £5 gift voucher off of a bag of Baileys feed! And also a free Wash and Proof for one rug, which usually costs £18 :D I think I did well!!!!

We had a go at the pairs too which was after the Show Jumping (with a horse and rider which I met at the show) and Ebony decided 2 foot was way too small for her to see and put in a dirty stop :eek::mad: Which I managed to stay on board for thanks to her neck lol! Then I went on to jump the wrong fence and so we were eliminated, although it was a laugh :D!

Here is Shy

Thanks MB, yes the show was quite busy considering! Lots of little ponies there with children on them. Wasn't a bad day, threatened to rain a few times and then the sun came out lol. Did you go to Gatcombe instead? :)
