A & H Show 2012: 'Dress-up your horse'


How's this for an equestrian event with a difference - the dress-up section! Don't the kids look hilarious! I'll tell you what, that Ben of mine is one brave lad. He cautiously slipped the floatie armbands onto Charm's front legs and then proceeded to blow each one up.  Imagine having your face that close to a pony's lofty foot!

The 'Sea-horse' theme won Harry and Till equal second place. I think if Ben had been wearing his boardies, they would have come home with a blue ribbon (just kidding). Poor Charm, he injured his foot an hour or so before this event.  It's fortunate he was able to carry the kids for the 'dress-up' competition, but Harry was unable to compete in the 'show jumping' section or any other events for the remainder of the day.  You'll be pleased to know, after a week of rest, Charm (who is almost 30 years old) is now in good shape again.
