Despite torrential rain and high winds, I was delighted to see how many ARC members managed to come along to compete in our winter WH & Showing Show.
It was great to see the fantastic effort made by the riders to turn out the horses and ponies so well. I am sure many of them would have been faced with the horror of a walking mud monster the evening before!
I would like to thank all the competitors for coming along and supporting this venture and extend my sympathies to those who could not manage it due to the adverse weather conditions making it impossible for them to travel.
Special thanks go to all the helpers who gave up their time to making the day such a success especially:
Stephen Cowan – course builder
Helen Outram – Working Hunter Judge
Tina Hasslem – Working Hunter Steward
Mitra Trop – Collecting Ring Steward and Showing Class Steward
Lillias McKirdy – First Aider and Collecting Ring Steward
Adam Pawson – TopScore Announcer and Show Photographer
Lesley Calder – TopScore Scorer and Show Steward
And last but certainly not least, a very special thank you goes to Susan Mitchell who not only gave up her afternoon to judge the showing classes but also gave up her time to help me organise the whole day. This was my first ever attempt at organising a show and I could not have done it without all her help and advice.
