So 3 weeks ago we went to a show at Ingliston because it's so near to us. We had April Tots there in the morning with Carla then Squig in the afternoon. She travelled alone this time and handled it like a pro. We got there and she was understandibly excited but still sane thankfully.
Our class was Hunter in Hand - any age. There was only 5 in the class which was perfect for Squig so that she didn't have to stand around for ages. She performed perfectly and she really enjoyed herself. We got a fantastic extended trot and she floated across the ring so we were feeling very chuffed with ourselves.
However, we got pulled in last and so I asked for feedback (again). The 'judge' said to me she didn't think she had any condition atall and did I worm her? You could have knocked me over with a feather. She said she thought Squiggy was 'thin' aswell. I explained as politely as I could that indeed she was wormed, that I did actually feed her and that she is a yearling so I certainly didn't want her carrying too much weight (the vet thinks she's actually a bit 'portly').
So needless to say I felt p***** off and thought that her comments were totally unacceptable (and untrue). She will remain nameless but I'm going to throw eggs at her house tonight!
So next is Royal Highland. Can't remember why I actually entered now and feel really nervous whenever I think of it, but what's the worst that can happen?
