RC National Show Jumping Championships Lincoln
We travelled up on Friday night and once again muttered about the length of the five hour plus journey! We settled in the horses, walked the course in the dark and had a quick BBQ before going to bed. Saturday dawned fine and the intermediate teams were soon underway! Harmony Jumped a double clear and ended up individual 7th, whilst the team came about 12th! On sunday bugz did the evergreen horse championship and did very well to come 7th in some good company. He was rather lively and full of himself, which obviously wasn't the best frame of mind for a showing class, but this didn't seem to matter!
Bugz has been diagnosed with cushings disease and is on hormone tablets to stem it's progress. So far he has regained his youth, but not all of his weight. Unfortunately, getting him to eat the tablets is another story - he can manage a whole apple and still spit the pill out, however hard we dig the pill in!"
Denmead Show 17/9/06
Spring and Smurph travelled to Denmead to take part in some simple showing and dressage. Both were really well behaved and Spring came 3rd and 2nd in the coloured and young horse class, whilst Smurph was 3rd in his first ever dressage! A good day had by all!
