Showing on a Sunday

Sunday 2nd October we tootled off to Milton Equestrian for 'In the Spotlight' Showing Comptetition.  The organisation was not too hot and some of the classes really big so after getting there for 10:30 and my class supposedly at 12 - we eventually hit the ring at three!

First up Ridden Gelding - I think this was part of the problem there were soo many classes and at first the ring was split in two and then it all become one and they alternated between in hand and ridden classes. 

Anyway .... Lining up for the judge to have a close up inspection of us : 

You then have to do a little ridden test which was ok - he was a bit onward bound again but did a nice test - apart from us almost running judge over in the change of rein (oops) : 

and then you come back to the judge and halt and salute : 

 

We came fourth in the class.  Then we had to wait and wait and wait - so lots of posing and piccies took : 

 

Then it was the Blue Chip Veteran class and we had to do it all again.  We came third and got 2 rosettes - one for the class and one from Blue Chip as well as a £10 feed voucher and a cap :) 

Posing with the frillys : 

 

and then I had the idea of a photo of both of them on one side lol - Muls was NOT impressed : 

Anyway Muls is now going to have a little holiday over winter with a bit of hacking and lots of good food and rest time.
