FINALLY managed to get Riannon to a show! What with lack of towing vehicle, lack of trailer, then cancellation of a couple of shows, I was determined to get her to at least one this year!
So on Saturday, off we toddled to the Roman Lodge Show up at Lansdown. She loaded and travelled like an absolute dream, and arrived at both ends without a speck of sweat on her.
She behaved impeccably, shouted a bit, but at least she kept all four feet on the ground (when I took Kira to her first show she spent most of the time on her back legs).
Between my Youngest and the dogs in the dog show, and me and Riannon in the horsey bit, we came home with seven rosettes, and one very knackered ponio!
Youngest got roped in to be 'semi-official' photographer as the official one was ill, and he certainly rose to the occasion. In all he took over 400 photos, with over 100 of Riannon (and me!) alone.
I won't bore you with them all, but here's us done up in all our finery:
And this is to show how good she was in the lineups
Not bad considering 10 months ago she looked like this:
;D
