My summer project went showing *photos*

We took my summer project, a 3yr old Welsh Sec B, to his first show on Sunday and he was amazing

It was his second time in a trailer and he loaded perfectly and traveled quietly. When we arrived he unloaded calmly and waited while we gave him a final groom over.

My little sister took him into the class, inhand registered M&M, and he acted like a little pro. He happily walked and trotted round with the class and on his own and didn't put a foot (hoof) wrong. He didn't get placed as the judge thought he needed more weight, but the point was to get him out and used to the show environment, so it was a very sucessfull day.

He's now finished his initial training and will be turned away untill Christmas, then we will continue his training.

Thanks for reading

You see this is where I think judges are bonkers...I think he's in great nick! Certainly doesn't need any more weight!

He looks great but wouldnt say he needs more weight on.

He's lovely!!! very very cute.

I agree with the others - doesn't need more weight on, especially at his age. I so don't get the showing world's obsession with fat ponies - he looks exactly right.

Thank you for your replies

I agree entirely that he doesn't need more weight on, he is going to be a PC pony when he's finished his training so really doesn't want to be obese! It was the first time we've been showing but I doubt we'll go again, I found it very, very pety.
