Title: A red one in the driving class!
Post by: Roxy on August 10, 2010, 04:23:00 pm
Our Dales mare won the exercise class at the Dales Breed Show on Saturday. Will get a nice cup for a year too.  So pleased with her, she has won this class once before, some years ago, and then had a couple of seconds.

She also got a 6th rosette in the Senior mare class - called senior mare if they are over 7 - they are not all OAP's!!

Two shows for her this weekend, both in hand, and two driving classes for the Fell gelding - thats if we find both a competition carriage and harness wide enough for the rather round chubby boy!!

Thank You!!  Will put a link up to the official photos when they go online - as obviously we were in the carriage and unable to take pics of ourselves :D
