Show Ring Camp!

[FMM]

Can't believe the time has come - people start arriving tomorrow afternoon at Keysoe - we have about 28 people in total. The weather forecast is not good but thankfully the indoor school at Keysoe is enormous so we can split it into two and still have plenty of room. If the weather improves then we have the lovely outdoor arena to use as well.

All the instructors are ready - Jo Bates (who won at Windsor last week and is judging ladies hunters at HOYS), Jayne Webber who won the HW hunters and today won the connemara class - very versatile - and Mathew Lawrence who won at HOYS last year and judged coloureds this week at Windsor.

People are now frantically bathing and packing (although packing at the moment seems to consist of chocolate and alchohol - and StinkerStonkersMum seems to be one of the worst culprits!)

Think it is going to be a good one this year - quite a few HHO members are coming : SSM, Virtual, Deefa, JnB, Bellgave to name a few - should be good fun and hope everyone learns lots.

So, think of us getting soaking wet for the next 4 days - if anyone is near Keysoe and wants to pop up for a visit, you are most welcome - showing day is on the Tuesday, flatwork on the Monday and working hunter Wednesday afternoon!

I hope it all goes smoothly FMM - I know you put an awful lot of work into the organisation, so I sure it will! I enjoyed last year's camp immensely, and I'm sure all this year's participants will find it a fantastic experience too

*Dances Around*
Also got a little prezzy for Toby if he is a good boy Will he be there for the whole camp?

 

[FMM]

Oh - he will follow you round all evening if he thinks he is going to get something! He is there from 5.45pm until he goes to school the next morning. Can he have a little ride on Harry if their paths happen to cross (or will Harry get grumpy if a midget was led around on him)

 

[Deefa]

Harry loves kids, he wouldn't mind him having a go at all! see you tomorrow!
