Sad but True

Hairy Trigger

Off to another Village show today, towing the pony trailer, with hopeful expectations of my youngest daughter having good day.

We should have taken heed of the weather-man, it started to rain whilst we were loading Trigger and continued to rain, on and off, all day long. And it did seem to turn into one of those days when staying in bed would have been a good idea.
First we got a bit lost and arrived late. Then Helen had the worst show-jumping round of the year with a 'filler' from Hell, all green and optically suspect, aimed at making that particular jump difficult. It was. For lots and lots of youngsters. Then it rained some more and we hid under the trees. Then another Round, went well until Trig spotted THAT FILLER! He wasn't having it! Another ruined round. Lots of sympathy later and Helen moved onto 'Pony Games'. Thankyou, thankyou!! A 2nd, 3rd and 4th rosette later she went home happy.

The photo shows what the pony thought of the day!
