Christmas Show

Category: Pets and other animals | Posted: Sun Dec 28, 2008 6:44 pm

This year the riding club decided to throw a Christmas show in the fancy new riding house. Most of the children connected to one of the stables in the area participated. We had show jumping, Hungarian post, voltige and gymkhana. Here's my youngest on a test run before the show started:



The course was neither long nor complicated, but the small ones struggled with the task at hand:



And back again, hurry!

Participants in the show jumping arriving:



A small Norwegian Fjord Horse in his fancy outfit:



Three very happy helpers:



We put up decorations like this inside and outside. Even though they're simple, they're still festive:



Waiting is hard work:







My middle girl was Santa-napped:





Santa's carriage was decorated too, even with sleigh bells:

Droopy, how wonderful for the girls competing. I am sure they all had a good time and it was a wonderful learning experience.

Oh I would love to have been there to watch the events taking place. I love the ponies in their Christmas 'outfits' and the decorations are lovely. Thanks for sharing the day with us Droopy.

What a successful show. These are realoly good fotos that lets us see how was there.
The decorations turned-out really good and judging from the clothing of everyone--it must have been very cold.
The horses were decorated nicely as was the carriage.
The whole day looked like a total success.
Thank you very much for these pics to show us how things are up there.

I'd have loved to have you all there with us. The day was a lot of fun for all. It was a bit nippy but not too cold. Still, it will feel cold after a few hours. *lol* Better dress warmly before we feel the cold than after.

That looked like a lot of fun Droopy, a great experience for the kids.

Also the first photographic evidence of a Santa-napping!
