It started off as an early day for us and some serious tetris. The question of the day was can you fit three people, a dog, two show strings and all the Chestnut Ridge stock into one car?
Answer? Yes apparently. Although we were all a little squished in!
After a stop for coffee and bacon rolls we arrived at the show venue just after 8, bright and early and ready to get showing.
The show was rather relaxed, with plenty of breaks and a nice smooth feel. I was only doing a few performance entries so was able to spend lots of time gossiping before we got started :D
The day started off with performance, the standard of which was incredibly high!
The raffle was really awesome, loads of great prizes to be won
Just one of the amazing performance entries
I love pink so this doll's top was right up my street!
A very fancy parade entry
Definitely the largest entry of the day!
And one of the smallest
