Took "The Beast" showing

On Sunday I got really brave and we took The Beast to a show on her own.

She didn't actually do very well in the classes, I haven't sorted the plaiting thing out yet, and she did rather drag Louise round the ring and neighed to every horse on the field. Never mind I actually managed to load her, take her to a show, compete, load again and get home

She actually travels well. I'm just pathetic

Ignore the plaiting, I did it standing on a ladder next to a horse who I'm scared of, I dont have to plait the cobs









By the way, she as sweetheart really, just too big for my taste

The Beast is my "pet" name for her.

Its how I perceive her

We sort of rescued her, bought her off the back of a transporter straight from Poland, it was delivering to the yard next to where we used to keep our horses. She was in a shocking state, completely unhandled, not even halter broken, skin and bone and quite aggresive.

She really is sweet now but I'm used to smaller cobs

These are just after we bought her
