Title: Smallholders Festival
Post by: Tamsjute on September 24, 2015, 09:24:08 pm: Hi,
Is anyone goining to the Smallholder and Growers Festival in Lanark on Saturday?

I shall be taking along my New Forest mare and foal - if all goes to plan and they load, etc, etc (have been practising!) If for some reason they decide they can't possibly get in the box, I will chuck one of my other NF ponies in as a substitute - but everything will be fine I'm sure!!!! :fc: :hshoe:

I also have 2 of my call ducks entered in the waterfowl show - I have never shown ducks before, so it will be a new experience for me. I hope they do well as I think they're lovely, but of course I'm bias!

Hope to see some of you there - I'll be with the NF ponies, so pop along and say hi! :horse:

Oh you've seen ours then :innocent: :roflanim:
We're entering our ducks too and likewise, we've never shown before :o
The boss (Mrs CGL) is helping [member=3983]Brucklay[/member] show some :sheep: and she's never shown then before either :excited:
Looking forward to the entire day.
