Thank you kath. I'am waiting for the Sweet ones also to decide which ones to buy. Nothing like a bit of travelling to somewhere strange for a young horse to experience .  |

Ruthie,
I watched your class & as soon as he walked in the ring I thought "that's a typical Crabbet". What a lovely horse. Well put together, plenty of bone and such a lovely eye & temperament. He behaved perfectly in that heat, interested and alert and mannerly. From the way he reacted to you it looks as though you have a super relationship. He's going to be great fun to ride, you'll have lots of fun together. Don't be discouraged, he might have been put down the line because he was the oldest in the class, that often happens. He was the horse that I would have taken home! |

| Wow tea for two....I'am blown away by your comments.......thank you so much! I'am so pleased you see what I see. I think you are right, he probably was the oldest in the class and if he had been somebody else's horse, I would definitely have wanted to take him home!! I'am chuffed to bits that you liked him. |

| Sorry Ruthie, that sounds a bit sinister, I didn't mean it like that. Thanks for getting my "name" right, not many people see it. |

| As the judge said to me at the tail end of our class - " it was very difficult to judge - it's only my opinion - and everyone on the ringside will be saying what's that matter with the judge why didn't they pick that one? It's better than the one in first place! The judge knows nothing". We had a lovely day out. I bathed him myself loaded him myself and drove to Malvern on my own. Got him prepared , unloaded and to collecting ring on time. Showed him to the people and the judge and accepted last place and a lovely laugh with the judge and then loaded him up and took the best horse home. I feel proud of myself for having done all that on my own this year and proud of my boy who was the best behaved mannerley boy in the class vouched for by the steward. So don't think you are being hard done by if you come last in your class - as long as you have a good experience with your pride and joy horse there will always be someone else watching who thinks the judge is blind!! And you get to take the best one home too! |
