Beardie show the weather was good but all these 1-7 combined are a nonsense, so I only did the 2 graded classes but had 2 big Es,
Was very poorly organised still running at 18.50 while all the other ring finished at 16.00.
The judge was available and should have moved the smalls into an empty ring.
Will have to have a think about doing this show again, but it is a very local one

Granite City Show

Weather on the Saturday was hot, but we only got the big E all day.
Sunday it was chucking it down all day, thought they would cancel the show after a very heavy downpour, The judges did well and most never stopped for lunch, they must have been very wet.
A couple of ring had swimming pools in them but judges avoided the nasty bits.
Some really good courses over the 2 days especially on the Sat.
Sundays courses had to take into account the very bad weather.
we came away with a win in grade 5 jumping and was inside the course time on Alan's course on the Sunday.
