Side Saddle Spring Show

[gillianfleming]

It was my local side saddle association area spring show yesterday and so as i decided to pop along as i'd managed to get the day off work and its pretty local.
My friend had her lovely TB competing, he's 11 and just 5 weeks ago did the point to point at Kelso and he also did the Diana of the chase race down south.
Having watched the showing classes i've got to say i don't understand any of the judging, the overly fat hunter with cow hocks and a very grumpy looking arab seemed to be doing well.
But it was lovely to see plenty there competing.
I did as always take my camera, so here are a few photos

Nice photos Gillian, lovely Highland. The bay was certainly the tank of the day but they were all in very good "show" condition weren't they

The Highland is gorgeous, she does endurance and last week did a huge ride, can't remember how far she did.
Charlie is fit enough to gallop 3 miles and more muscled than i have seen him. He did find showing not nearly as fun as racing
