Last weekend
husband and I went to a local farming show. It was a lovely autumn day
and the animals were looking at their best. Pigs and piglets brushed and
polished, the heavy horses with tails plaited and manes bright with
ribbon. The sheep fluffed up, long ringlets curled like Victorian
girls, everyone so proud of their poultry and stock. The gymkhana was in
full swing. Little moppets clinging on tightly to the saddles of their
ponies as, with huge aplomb and steely determination they charged around
the jump course. Charlotte on Cobweb got a clear round and were very
pleased, extra polo mints for Cobweb tonight I should think.
At the dog
agility course enthusiasm was everything. Dogs of all shapes flung
themselves around the obstacles, tails waving madly. The wrong way
through the tunnel, halfway up the ramp, miss out the difficult weaving
rods, who cares, we're all having fun! Some people dressed up for the
occasion, taking account of the threat of rain. It is important to feel a
cold wind won't spoil the day for you........ so Betty chose her outfit
with great care....
