I am SO chuffed with Spider.
On Sunday, showing him myself for the first time, he behaved impecably, won both his classes at the Eastern BSPA Star show and the overall In Hand Championship.
Great...........however, that championship win now qualifies him for the 'Star Series Championship' final at the World Championships of Colour at the end of the month.
Still great and VERY proud mummy, as that must be some feat for a yearling against all ages.
However something at the back of my mind told me that I had seen photos of men showing in the evening gala finals in ........dinner suits, yes, full black tie job.
So.............what about us ladies?
I went to the organiser and thought I'd better check as I wouldn't want to look a numpty and turn up in hacking jacket etc.
Yes, you've guessed it.............she said, seriously,..............evening dress!!!!!!!
Now Spider is only 1 year old, approaching 15.1hh, a colty colt and I'm about 5' nothing.
Am I seriously supposed to run like the dickens in my strappy, glitzy evening dress with boobs bouncing like two ferrets fighting in a sack and what about my heels sinking in the sand?
Huh?????
The organiser did say afterwards that some ladies prefer to wear evening trousers with a sparkly top..........so count me in then!
At least I'll be able to strap myself down in my strongest sports bra and have flat but smart shoes.
Well done if you've got this far and apologies for the long post, but I just wanted to share this with you.
If anyone has been to the WCC evening performances before perhaps they could let me know what the women were wearing. Or maybe PUK or the BSPS Champs?
Just need to check this isn't a wind up but I have found photos of blokes in DJs so I'm guessing not!
