ok so weather was ok, a few bits of drizzle but thats to be expected up in them hills  didnt get in the clear round it clashed with the other classes and only ran for an hour or so so we never got chance to have a go. inhand- my sister took her in (my sisters a very nervous novice at showing and doesnt understand how to show her off to her best) and the judge didnt like welsh (lined up in breed order lol didnt matter the first one cantered around the ring  ) but she came 5th which wasnt last so thats ok. then i took her in the ridden, went brill on the go-round (even if i say so myself!) and we got pulled in first- seriously there was nothing to touch her she just shone (how the bloody hell do you spell that!?) but we managed to fluff up the canter transition in the show *mad* *grrr* not too bad and we salvaged it (she anticipated and struck off disunited, but my mum said she couldnt tell and the judge didnt see anyway but i came back to trot and asked for canter on the next corner instead and showed a decent one on that edge) went ok and finished off nice and calm in an outline etc. was then dropped to 3rd but he said "she is very impressive under saddle and if your transition in the show was better she would have won" (tell me something i dont know  the 2 above werent anything sparkling but did their job so cant argue really. no pictures because photographers camera got water in and deleted all the pictures *mad* he took about 40 as well anyway, good day overall she was good for us and we cant argue with the results. |

What a lovely mare you have, sorry if it was a bit frustrating for you, but at least you know why.
