The last showing competition of this year to be held by the 'In the Spotlight' and I decided to dress Sadie up and get her out just to finish off the year with some nice pics of her. Jordan took Willow (Tracy's youngster) from our yard for the in hand classes and very kindly plaited my girl for me. When I asked him why I was getting this special treatment the answer was I couldnt look like a slob next to him and Willow ! He has spent all week preening and prepping her. She was a little star and just took it all in her stride. She got a first and a third - well done Jord and Willow.
I did a ridden showing class and as most of you know Sadie either decides to play or not - there is no halfway with her. Unfortunately a rather large chestnut came cantering past us in the ring and that was it - TURBO button on! I think the audience outside watching the in hand classes could hear the teeth grinding and huffing and puffing. Then the neck got tense and her tongue kept coming out lol. To add to it all we were first to do our individual test so she didnt have time to cool off a bit and then judge said she would give the test which was straight into canter and a gallop up the long side. Well we went - we tried and we came home lol. Got loads of pics - when this year started we wondered if we would get anything done this year and then she was really ill and luckily Muls stepped in and I have done loads on him so just wanted one outing with my girl :) x
