Blacktown Show 20/2/10 - Who's going?

Is anyone else going to Blacktown Show this weekend? I am just taking my pinto stallion Junolan Celestial Prince. He surprised me at Luddenham last weekend, so hopefully he can do just as well!

congratulations and good luck this week

have fun make sure you let us know how you go!

I am not looking forward to Blacktown tomorrow! I can't believe that despite the half a dozen rugs he had on this week, Prince managed to spring his winter coat!! Grr. I don't have a stable with lights, so it looks like I will have to clip him for the next show after all, I was hoping I wouldn't have to!

Dont worry same thing has happened here with both Warrior and cappa.!!
Must be the cool change we have had the past few nights

Just a super quick update, just got back from Blacktown to drop Prince home, gotta go straight out again, I'll upload pics tomorrow.

Prince took out Bets Presented, Best Coloured, Stallion over 4yrs, and Champion colt/stallion..

VERY happy with my little man. Wasn't sure if he could pull it off two weeks in a row!

Go Prince! I asked the judge what I "could" of improved on..she said Nothing,your horses are nice but I judge them on Movement..So prince must have nice Movement!!!

Here is Shatters.

thats great to hear well done!

Well done to everyone, looks like you all had a great day

YAY! Go Shatters!!!

At least you got SOME feedback from that judge, I wasn't sure she could string a sentence together.

That's funny if she judge on movement because I think Warrior has a much nicer horsey trot than Prince does...

But thats not the best of it....
When I was out there lining up to do my champion workout...She wandered off to get a cake and coffee and left me standing there waiting for her.

She was...Odd to say in the least,Oh it was hard just to get her to tell me what she did,she was very rude I found.

and just as you left they turned all the rides on haha...Horses were going left right and centre,bolting,shying,bucking ect.

Poor Warrior,No one likes him lol.
Did your husband happen to get any photos of cappa...Once again.. my photographer doesnt zoom in enough or he doesnt let the camera focus or her chops legs and ears off.

Cake and coffee!?? Maybe she wasn't feeling the best? Her heart really didn't seem into it. But 10 minutes after the ring was supposed to have started, I heard the M.C saying that some rings were delayed due to a lack of judges!! Maybe she was a ring in??

Don't worry, it's taken me years to train Scott to how to take decent photos, and he still manages to chop off legs half the time, or the trotting ones end up all blurry because he thinks I want the "fast action look".

He didn't get any of Cappa sorry coz he was holding Prince during Cappa's age class, and when we were doing Champion workouts, he only took pics of Prince. I think Cappa made it into one of the line up, but it's not a great one.

I thought she was a little rude too. I have been showing horses for 18 years. Mind you first time in the mini ring and whn I asked for some feed back she just looked at me and turned away. Didnt say a word to me. But I managed to get Reserve Champion Stallion with my yearling colt "Anyssa Park Cause for Applause".

Ah ha! The mysterious black horse has been found lol. I was wondering who he was.
Wasnt she just the rudest! my god it was like an effort for her to be there...then when I took warrior into the colour class she was all like 'blacks not a colour'...Hmmm ok then.

Yeah that annoyed me when I heard her say that to ya. It's "best colour" not "best broken colour"... my broken coloured ponies have been beaten by chestnuts and browns in that class before, so she had no right to say you couldn't be in it. I really wonder what her judging credentials are.

For the record, I also think both your ponies trotted out better than Prince in the Champion class.
