My wee baby's first ever show.. IPS show.. pics and vid!

[xx.Elle.xx]

Well, we were meant to be doing the 4year olds, n the lightweights..

so leaving at 9am, class started at 10am

I was all ready for 9.. but the person taking us got held up gettin kids n pony ready so it was like 9.30 before we left.. it takes just over half an hour to get there..

Sooo.. i missed the 4 year olds.. it was on when we got there, entered for lw.. got her off the box.. she was like 'omgg mummyyy.. somewhere new.. ima by hyperrrr!!!" n dancin around! Then seen that the rest of the LW had gone in.. cue panic.. 'ahh.. its my wee babys first show.. my fookin class is in, i havent even got on the horse let alone warmed up' so had to jump on and was straight in the ring.

Because of this she didnt go her greatest, but was very well behaved.. but we were against all the really good LWs, that go to Balmoral, Dublin etc.. lol.. we came 7th but was just pleased with her for behaving etc so wasnt bothered that she didnt go perfect, understandly lol, she hadnt been warmed up.. poor baby!

Then afterwards i rode her around in the field just to get her used to it all.. she was PERFECT!!!! The lady who had got the person in England to look out for one for me had come to watch n she couldnt get over how good n laid back she was being for it being her first time out.

Then there was a couple of warmup jumps set up.. i havent jumped her since the day i got her as out school aint done yet (although that day she escaped she was jumpin fookin huge!!!) so put it down to poles on the ground then a wee x pole, she jumped it really big lol but was doing it nice.. she's got some jump on her!!!

So yeh.. just rode her around n she was sooooo good!

Then she stood happily on the box for a couple hours munchin her haylege while we waited around for other shiz

Very pleased with my wee girlie!!

Didnt get any pics in the class as the person that took me was gettin the pony ready as her kids class was on same time as mine, but after then the other lady Debbie n her daughter who had come to watch took pics of me riding her around n got 2 vids of her aswell, 1 of her doing the jump n another just trottin n cantering around

PICS!!!
