A & H Show 2012: Horses Again

Stop groaning...
I'm nearly done with show photos, I promise!


Till rode by herself this year, meaning last year she sat on a pony and was led by Ben. Till (like Harry) has a soft spot for Charm, but as he was busy being ridden by someone else, Till had to settle for Fudge. Dear funny, strong-minded Fudge, he just wasn't in the mood to cooperate! No matter what Till tried, he refused to trot! If you look closely at that bottom right photo, you'll see quite a determined look on Miss Till's face...but alas, Fudge had better ideas!!!


Above is Harry competing in the section called 'Led Pony'. For this he was required to lead the pony around the course whilst the judge called instructions (ie run, stop, walk, stop, run, turn etc). I really have no idea what the judges are looking for specifically! This horse caper is still pretty new to me! Harry looked rather dapper, don't you think? The photos below show him riding in his age category.  Harry is the only boy competitor in his age group. Horse riding is definitely a girl-dominated past-time here on Norfolk. It doesn't worry him however, and I think these photos capture how much he loves every minute with Charm!
