Well, we went off to a little local showing show today. Getting there was a right palaver but not worth a story. And Z and I entered 3 classes and we came:
Last, with no rosette (riding horse or pony):
Last, with a "special" rosette in a fetching shade of beige (handsomest gelding);
4th and a green frilly in Pony the Judge Would Most Like To Take Home.
The Riding horse class was fair enough as it was our first class and he was in full whizz mode. The judge said his conformation marks were excellent but his marks for manners were non existent!
He bucked twice during his individual show in the judge's choice class so also fair enough.
But last in Handsomest Gelding? My Ziggy? The judge was blind! We was robbed!
It was lovely to have a day out with him though
