I'm booked in with my old boy but I'm having real trouble trying to hire a trailer for the day. There doesn't seem to be anyone in Hereford or surrounding area that hires them  . |

| We are hoping to go and will enter on the day. Did not think I would be able to go as only had further shoulder surgery 4 weeks ago with some metalwork being removed and more bone taken away. Doc just given me All clear to start riding again so wont be up to scratch but it would be nice just to get back into things again following quite a long break. Apolgoies in advance if we look like beginners ! |

1. Bob Bates stunning 2 year old
2. Moor Than Handsome
3. Len Morgan's Enchanted Eternal Moon
4. Louise Murphys Spellsbury Significance
5. Not sure of name sorry
Sorry i dont have any more reslts as we left early

Regarding the numbers of entries in the AA/Pb classes, according to the catalogue ( I can't speak for late entries ) the pure-bred In hand entries were far worse than the AA/PB classes with ones and two's and in three classes none. The older classes were marginally better supported in both sections with 6's and 7's.
The good thing was that in the AA/PB's the quality went right down the line in both classes with even 3rds and 4ths being past British National Champions. The results could have been any permutation. So much more exciting.
Never mind the numbers, keep up the quality, I say, although preferably both

Jean, I agree with your comments about quality. I show pure breds, and I hate to say it but the quality on Sunday wasnt of the best I have seen. I dont want to take anything away from the competitors, and I will prob get a slating but for me the quality of pure breds (and the quantity) just wasnt there on Sunday

I have attended 2 spring show this year and felt Midland had the best turn out of part breds. I expected 1 or 2 to be entered in the 2/3 year olds but 5 to me was a good turnout.
Well done Jean on your win
Arabian Girl - I have a photo of Sue's mare. I will try and upload it for you. |

Mandala (Sue) your mare was beautiful and a well deserved Champion, shown superbly by Mark.
Rafabreeze, I think you are being a little unfair to the competitors who produced their horses and turned up to the show.
Sadly a lot of the Spring shows are not showing huge numbers this year but there were some very nice horses forward and they all deserve praise for supporting the show.
Maybe its a sign of the times - competitors have to decide which shows they can afford to attend. |
