Congrats! It's lovely when all goes well :)
Your pony is turned out really well BTW *blinded from the bright white cleanliness* - my grey has an eternally yellow tail :p


Thank you very much sweet! I spent hours on Saturday bathing him, first of all in fairy washing up liquid, then superpoo horse shampoo, and then in ariel stain remover! He was glowing, and smelt of my clothes washing smell lol! I rugged him up over night and I only had to re-do his legs again! My instructor use to use net whitener on her grey mares tail! xx :D

Absaloutely Brilliant. Your boy looks stunning. Lorlingo looks exactly the same as my first pont i rode (victar), if you didn't put his name i would have thought it was victar! lol maybe there related :D Well Done for today and Good Luck at other shows x

Thank you, I love Rox's cute little face! When the photographer was trying to take his photo with his sash on I shouted out "Pooh Bear" to get him to put his ears forward lol - it's what I call him sometimes - I bet everyone thought it was his name! :eek:

Lorlingo is a HHO'er from here, her palomino and white shetland is called Bear. He was so cute - I would have loved to squidge him! :p xx :D

Congratulations!!! :D :D :D

I'm super jealous now I couldn't make it - had to pop out SJ instead locally to distract myself!! I'll be at Epworth on bank holiday though and hoping to qualify for next year (and hopefully not waste it this time!!)

Well done again (he's absolutely lovely btw!) :D

A million thank you's! I would love to say you didn't miss much, but that would be lying! ;) I think next year they are having even more classes at USOC spread over two days, 6th and 7th August 2011 I believe - make sure you keep these days free! :D

Oh excellent, another one of us at Epworth - that makes three of us on this thread! What classes are you doing? Any pictures of your horse so I can recognise you? You will have to say hi if you see us! xx :D

Emma and Cream Soda were placed in all their classes-8th in equitation,7th in part bred-M&M and 4th in unusual coloured- but it was a long day. Went up yesterday afternoon to turn Ash(stable name) out and she was still tired. Well done to everyone:)

Well done what a fantastic result! I too am dazzled by the whiteness - I think you should share the secret:D:D

My friends boyfriend ( a total novice rider ) took her Orlov Trotter in a class and came last but was so happy just have gone in the ring - no mean feat when he has only been riding a few months but someone has really really upset him by saying the horse was like a giraffe - I though it was all about having fun!

Ah thank you very much! It was a result I wasn't expecting in my wildest dreams. Tell your friend congratulations too, that was a massive event and should be proud of himself. I too was just pleased Rox had qualified and had the opportunity to go. All I wanted was for him to behave in the ring and to get a nice photo of him! I was over the moon when he got 9th place in the younstock - but then winning the coloured - I was utterly gobsmacked!!! :D

The whiteness secret is easy - first dousing with fairy washing up liquid, then superpoo horse shampoo, and last but not least, my secret ingredient... ariel stain remover gel! xx :D
