Title: Afternoon!
Post by: u83sh on March 31, 2015, 02:42:44 pm

Good Afternoon All

Newbie here hoping to get lots of great advice!

I live on the Derby/Notts border and between me and my partner we have Gloucester Olds Spot Pigs, Golden Guernsey Goats, Sheep, geese and tonnes of chickens.  I also have five ex racehorses and a young filly, two tortoises and a rabbit!

I have always competed and shown the horses but last year I had my first go at Poulty showing (Polands and Welsummers) which I loved and this year I am hoping to try showing my gorgeous Coloured Ryelands but am very nervous about doing so!

Hello from Devon :wave: I used to show horses a bit as a girl (working hunters) and worked in National Hunt stables for a few years. Also show dogs and roller canaries!
