2nd - On Your Marks...

near Ettington, Warks view map

I was up at a show in Warwickshire this afternoon supporting Naomi and Smokey who were competing in an 'event challenge' whatever that is!! It certainly proved a challenge; our two overcame some difficult jumps and turns, and put in a very respectable round to finish in 8th place, just one place off the medals....yay Noms & Smokey!!

Great photo Doug. Smokey has that "I wish I was back in the stables, munching on hay" look. :)

Evidently they must have been 'smoking':-) What's the blue stuff in the background?!
