ROYAL HIGHLAND SHOW

[Elf On A Shelf]

The D judge breeds the Trevallion Cobs - big moving riding horses. He breeds them for his daughter to ride who is 6ft. His preferance of pony in the show ring is entirely different from the majority of what he breeds.

The current trend for D's are to be big, flashy movers with alot of power (and weight ...). Eye catching first and foremost. Unfortunately the eye catching trend also then allows slightly exuberant behaviour from the mares and stallions and hence is tollerated, if not actively encouraged. My lads wired enough as it is without someone else winding their beast up behind me. It's seen as the Welsh Fire and appears to be desireable.

I know him from around the shows, he is lovely! But under that judge didn't stand a hope in hell He just plain wasn't fat enough! And considering what a lovely all round pony he is already excess fat has no place in his life, as it should be!

Thanks EKW, my friend thinks the world of him.

Its a shame though that some judges still can't get past fat horses

Is there any way of finding out who competed in the classes but weren't placed in the top 6? I was interested in a horse which was in a class I watched but recognised the handler but can't think for the life me what their name is!

I don't get it really. Surely you want a USEFUL horse you can do something with??! Like ride it, for a start. The stallions on show at the RHS are good for nothing other than looking pretty (if that's your cup of tea)

I commented to a friend that there is no way on earth you could fit a saddle to half of the top placed stallions, if you were stupid enough to try and ride it.

You find that the ones that do well in hand rarely go on to do well under saddle and vice versa.
