Done and Dunblane Show on Saturday was another useful outing for the youngsters. After two hours waiting in the sun in the collecting ring Rags was a bit bouncy but both he and his mother Skysail won their classes and Candy came second in hers. Then in the wait for the Light Horse Breeding Championship they got their first taste of the bagpipes with Doune Pipe Band performing in the Main Ring behind us. Keeping an eye on the opposition in the Horse rings (and even the lush grass) was forgotten as they watched and listened in amazement. After a few minutes the novelty wore off and they made their way through the Championship in step with the music. In spite of his bouncy behaviour earlier Rags had charmed the judges and he was awarded Light Horse Breeding In Hand Reserve Champion so another successful day all round.
Candy, Skysail and Rags distracted by the entertainment in the main ring
Skysail really is enjoying her first season of showing and getting out and about.
