Very busy week with lots of horses competing.
First up were Dinger (The Humdinger), Squiggly (Carnaby Street) and Jack (Jigsaw Jack) in the coloureds on the Tuesday. Very hot - and 100s of horses entered. THe classes started first thing in the morning and we finally left the showround at just gone 6.30pm - and they ONLY had coloured showing that day!!!
Squiggly and Jack did the LW plaited class - called in something like 3rd and 5th. Squiggly is only 4 ad still a baby - ended up about 7th and Jack came up to 3rd (second year in a row for him!) so very pleased with both of them.
Dinger was the last class in - he went really well for Jayne and was called in top - went amazingly for the judge - superb gallop - and ended up 1st. He then won the horse championship and then the overall coloured supreme (for the second year in a row) - what a horse he is!!!
On hunter day the LW novice (Tim) ended up 3rd, the MW, Blarney (Standing Ovation) (ridden by his owner) came second - fantastic result for their first season together, and Boots (Silverstream) came 2nd - so good results for the "big boys".
Riding horse day - the small, Hugo (Jackson Fair and Square) came 3rd, and The Philanderer came top in the larges. He then went on to win the championship so again, very happy with him.
Cob day - I finally get to ride DInger! Very strong class with all the top horses of the season present. We had 3 entered - Darcy (Darcy Bustle), Dinger and Chad (Incobnito).
Darcy was called in second and Dinger in 4th - after the judge ride and conformation Darcy stayed second and Dinger went up to 3rd - amazing result as there were sooo many pro riders and cobs below him. In the championship Darcy was reserve which is a fab result for a horse with few miles under her belt and only a 5 year old being in the main ring for the first time.
thanks for the pic CHarlie!
Then the Supreme Horse of RIHS. Both Dinger (as the coloured champion) and Phil (as riding horse champion) qualified as 2 of the 6 forward. Jayne rode both of them. THe order ended up
6th - The Arab
- 4th - Dinger and Golder Gunner (hack)
3rd - Loughleen Dancing Lord (Robert Oliver's hunter)
2nd - Tommy Tucker (champion cob)
1st and Supreme Champion - THe Philanderer!!!

I always look way too serious when I'm showing, and that's at local level, I can only dream of getting to the level you're at!
