Nicoll Show Team

July 2010

Well we have had a busy time up and down the road we set off to Great Yorkshire and the North of England and had a few days rest at Arena UK in between. We also set off to the RIHS where we stayed with Pru, Jamie and Charlotte of Classic Security and had a very enjoyable time there. The weather was so warm compared to what we had left behind in Scotland!!

The ponies have been notching up the results starting at Riverside Show which is run by Susan Harper and her daughter Tricia for the Leukaemia Charity. Sofie and Mountcharles Fifefly won their inhand class and were inhand Champion, they also won their 13.2 show pony class and were Reserve Champion this was great results for us as we had only had the pony a few weeks and had to turn its condition around in no time at all. Zoe and Marshbrook Ltd Edition won their 143cm SHP class and were Champion. Jack of Diamonds won his 148cm Show Pony class. This show is a fun day out for the kids and very well run and we all had a most enjoyable time at it.

At Biggar Show the girls stood Champion with Jack of Diamonds and Reserve Champion with Mountcharles Fifefly. Zoe and Harry won the 143cm SHP and were Reserve Champion.

We also made the long journey to the Royal International Horse Show in Sussex with Cherub, Harry and Jack. Cherub was ridden by his owner Lucinda and was pulled 7th and although ended up equal 12th they both went well and looked amazing. Harry and Zoe did a lovely show to gain a mark of 51 out of 60 but the conformation judge obviously didn't like him and gave him a 12 out of 40 this gaining him a place of 13th. Jack was on at the end of the week and by this time Jack being Jack had had enough and boy was he a little devil in his class !!!! Ah well at least he got there...
