Show update (you know all those trophies I was going to bring home)

[Ravenwood]

Well it turns out that the judge had an irrational hatred/fear of chestnut mares

My chestnut mare (Lotti) obviously picked up on this discrimination and protested loudly by continuously neighing at the top of her voice the whole time we were in the ring

She also cunningly pretended that she hadn't had a day's schooling in her life when the judge came to ride her

Consequently we were put down to the 6th place

However, next year I am going to paint her grey because the greys came 1st, 2nd and 3rd !!!

 

[Eaglestone]

Oh what a shame

 

[EmbarrassingEllie]

Probably the judge was a HHO and knew that you would have trouble getting all the trophies home!!!

 

[Ellies_mum2]

What a crafty mare she is pretending to misbehave like that to save you the worry of getting all that silverware home

I have always found in showing that your placing is influenced mainly by the value of the bottle of whiskey you give the judge beforehand.

What is it with chestnut mares? (I've got 2 liver chesnuts). One of mine is very vocal in public too! Who was the judge?

 

[YorksG]

My chesnut mare always shouts to let people know she is there when she first gets to a show. Then keeps quiet for the rest of the day.

 

[Ravenwood]

Yes, as soon as she got out the ring, she was quiet for the rest of the day

LOL missed all the build-up. Hope you had a good day even with a judge who was obviously blind (just a same she wasn't deaf too)!!!!
