If you can't beat them...

Keswick Show.

Another opening of another show, Keswick is a one day traditional agricultural show.   They don't go in for motor bike teams, jousting or any of the "attractions".  The show is based round the agriculture of the area sheep and horses.   Dogs and Cumberland & Westmorland  wrestling also feature highly.

The main ring, directly opposite the stand was busy all day with horse classes (no show jumping).  The blip is the gentleman who eventually turned out to win the driving class.

The extra is a young lady who featured in many of the classes.  I have included it for a couple of reasons.  First the pony is a colour I have never seen in a fell pony - Blue Roan.  The second is that whenever she appeared in the ring she had that beaming smile, clearly loving every minute of her day.
