Well we went to Royal Windsor on Thursday for the coloured classes! We have never done any good at the show but love the atmosphere so always enter.
We slept in the yard at the lorry (and with the heavy rain/hailstones bouncing off the lorry roof - it was like sleeping in a tin can), woke up at 4 loaded up and left the yard at 5am.
When we arrived we followed the metal road way as far as we could go then as soon as our lorry hit the grass we was stuck and had to be towed on by a tractor. Luckily we had day stables so saved our legs a little as the walk between the horsebox park and the rings is a good 20 minutes!
I came away with my horse winning the Non-Native Pony In Hand, the In Hand Championship and the Non-Native Pony Ridden.
Honest i am so over the moon - it is the first time we have ever won there and to win two classes and a championship is just amazing.
Im praying we get a mention in the Horse and Hound on Thursday - that would just be the icing on the cake !!!!
