Spider's Futurity Championship.

[Bananaman]

Well, not the amazing results of some on here but we were delighted with our third place behind two lovely horses.
I think Spider may be teething as he was really 'gobby' and wouldn't settle in his mouth and didn't show himself off as well as he can, however I think even if we'd been foot perfect, we'd never have got in front of the other two.
I did get to shake Carl Hester's hand though and he said that Spider was lovely and looked to have a natural talent for piaffe!

(Not bad for a pikey pony!

)
I met up with Cruiseline

, who I hope had a good day, the lovely TOG and saw Volatis briefly too. Didn't get to see anyone else, perhaps we should have HHO badges another time!

Well done to the organisers and to all HHOers whether successful on the day or not.
It was a result just to be there.

spider is gorgeous, so where the pics

well done to you both

 

[Partoow]

hey that was a super acheivement , you were in a strong group and Spider had a lot to contend with , its not easy for young stallions so please dont be disapointed!!! I still think he is a smashing horse, is conformationally strong and i hope to see you out very soon !!!

 

[volatis]

I think Spider did really well. That was such a strong class and he did the coloured horses proud!

 

[Bananaman]

I wasn't disappointed in the least with our result, maybe a little in the fact that he didn't show himself as he can but that's horses for you!
Thanks for your lovely comments.

The pics on the day don't do him justice but here's one from Bank Holiday monday..... http://gallery.horsepower-photography.com/viewpicture.tlx?albumid=171261&pictureid=7367448
