iv shown cows, pigs, horses, dogs and rabbits. and they have all coped really well. but im always knackered !! lol
when i was younger and competing on ponies, as soon as the lorries were started , the ponies used to get terrible diahorrea with excitement. they were happy im sure and v well looked after but definitely a stressful day. these were ponies who were jumping and galloping. in-hand show ponies were much more relaxed.
oh... and i entered my son into a modelling contest once when he was 2 - same as showing im sure - and he won... :roflanim: :roflanim:
