Went to this on my own with Rosedust Fairytale(Tally) and Duntarvie Dreamcatcher(Cari).Both ponies were 3rd in their M & M classes,judge certainly wasn't going for section B's.
After nearly 30 years competing on the Scottish Showing circuit we finally ventured up to Black Isle show for the first time.
We left on Tuesday afternoon to head up to a lovely small yard about 15 miles from the show where my ponies were the only ponies stabled there,after i cancelled our original stables with the threat of strangles in the Invernessshire area.
The weather was glorious for the show if maybe a little too hot. All 3 ponies Paddock Dianthus,Duntarvie Dreamcatcher and Locksley Donatella Versace won their classes and after having to grab a spare handler for the championship,I was delighted when Paddock Dianthus got Reserve Champion of the M & M section.
