Of course, there is. You will watch and learn and it will help you decide what you want in the future. I went to heaps of dog shows before I bought a show dog, even though we already had a dog.

Post by: cmorrell on July 11, 2009, 10:41:40 pm: Hmm, they have a link up to view the catalogue as well, but at present it's just a pdf of the entry form. I suspect it will be replaced after the closing date for entry.

Post by: Rosemary on July 12, 2009, 12:01:53 pm: Yep, the catalogue will go up before the sale.

No but it's hard to find a) the horse and b) the cash to feed and look after it

Post by: ballingall on July 13, 2009, 08:13:16 pm: I'd love a horse too. WHen we lived in Kinross, the farmer next door rented out his field to horses. Paddy was bought for a 14 girl as her first pony. Fair enough, she was a big girl of 14, but she got a Shire cross! He was beautiful though, and they sold him again after a year because he was too strong for her- I was so tempted to buy him.
