Loving the new supplies from . Such good quality and useful products.

ABSS Spring Carnival Horse Show once again a well run and well set up show, with numbers at every ring showcasing where they are up to. My heartfelt thanks to the organisers and volunteers for all their hard work. I truly appreciate it.

My only complaint was those damn pesky flies! Even if you belted them, they still came back! 🤦🤣🤷🤪 My apologies to those who might have heard me cursing them at times.

This year I took my own personal horses, being KM Total Raphael (Raf), and Vineyard Spice Magic (Spice).

RAF had his first ever competition experience and boy did he do me and Kerrie Meadows proud, by winning his led hunter over 16.2hh classes before moving onto winning Champion Led Hunter Hack under a UK judge.

Vineyard Spice Magic doing his 2nd ever show and well, let's say he had bucket loads of ants in his pants and simply wasn't coming to the party throughout his many classes, resulting in various placing results consistent of 2nds and 3rd placings. Let's just say he lived up to his nickname of Naughty Spice!!! 🤪😂 Fortunately he settled down towards the end of the day for his last 2 classes to win his class, and then champion other coloured breed led roan class, also under the same UK judge.

I must say that I really like the style of the UK judging methods, they are very thorough and give everyone an equal opportunity to show off their horse fairly by both on the circle and also workouts.

We also won one of the prizes in the raffle which Emily went and picked out one of the kiddies buckets with goodies. Thank you to those who donated prizes.

My most grateful thanks for everyone coming to support/assist/help me in my preparations leading up to and on the day, I really appreciate it so much.

My many and most grateful thanks to the following sponsors of the horses classes that we did;

Park
Horse and Pony Society
Welsh Mountain Pony Stud
Acres
Plus any other sponsors that covered our classes (I'm going off the program so if I have missed anyone, my heartfelt apologies and please let me know so I can add to the list).

All about us :D

Congratulations to all who attended the ABSS Spring Carnival Horse Show this weekend.

To the many clients who booked in for the show preparation and plaiting services, thank you. I thoroughly enjoyed meeting your beautiful equines, and I can not explain the joy I feel when I see you out there looking beautiful competing.

I also thank those booked on Friday for being so understanding and patience whilst I did an emergency sick horse dash to the hospital. I am so grateful for your flexibility and support.

In total did 15 plaits, and 9 make-up jobs for the weekend. Have included some photos of some of my work along with some photos I took of the FOTF classes in between bookings.
