the venue is absolutley great i do think it will be worth the extra drive. plus it is just off the A1 so no back road driving it is dual carriageway all the way, much better in the lorry.

the judges are ont he web site have been there a while, web master has done a good job of hiding them though, sorry you needed to be a bit of a detective to find them, these non horsey web providers have no idea what is important. if you look at the days timtetables and scroll down the judges timetable is underneath,

pinks, it's all about the kids from what I can see. Yes there are a lot of adults there but my daughter has allways qualified for the evening performance. If you don't qualify then they have consolation classes in the evening perf. Give it a try, honestly, this society are kid friendly, even if you don't do the evening perf the day gives you a buzz. The standards are good but it makes you really try hard. see you there, give me a wave. xx

I'm really interested in these champs but as we haven't qualified could someone tell me which classes we could enter - we have an M&M & SP. Also if we were 1st-6th in the open classes what does that mean - do we qualify for something else? I know I'm beingreally dim but been bathing ponies all day so totaly kn*****ed Thank you.

They have open classes in the morning to qualify for the Champs classes. If you come 1st or 2nd in your Champ classes you qualify for the evening perf. Check out the website. It tells you all you need to know. It's a "Producer free zone". Standards are good, but so is the atmosphere, the friendly people and the rossettes are FAB!!!!

This really is a lovely show where everyone is friendly.
I have been 2 years running but this year we will not be going and I will not be taking Holly again. We have been unbeaten everytime we have been but in the Champs the judges will still not award my mare the Champs. She is slightly pigeon toed and have always pulled the second placed horse above us.
I do feel a bit cheated as she goes so well and according to people that were watching she gives the best gallop and show.
I would take one of the others though, but I am at another show that day with my big mare.
I do like the show its self as I think it is a very well run show and well done to the organizers

Go on try again, there's allways an "odd judge" at every show, we've been told (not at Amateur champs) that the bay on the left hand side of my signature isn't a show pony! Most def is !!!!!!

Post by dancer on Jul 8, 2008 19:19:51 GMT
So are there any open show pony classes that we could do to try to qualify for the relevant championshp class?
