Didmarton OF, CM & CTF Live

We had a great day at Didmarton on Saturday. As it isn't too long of a drive there wasn't a very early start, the journey was made more enjoyable by much Pokemon hunting on the way!

After a stop for coffee and a lot of shouting as we attempted to catch Pokemon whilst Brendon drove down the M4 we arrived at Didmarton hall (and were delighted to learn it was a Pokestop).

Arriving early as always we helped set up and let Brandy 'exercise' bit before she settled down under her table. I had a lot of horses to show so was grateful to steal some space off Laura so that I could fit everyone in!

The show was split into several sections starting off with Breyer OF and Peter Stone OF. One thing I love about this show is that the Peter Stone classes are split between OF and FCM which means that my not particularly exciting Stones that are just standard can actually have a chance of winning :) I was very happy with a rather old quarter horse who took a 1st place.

The small CopperFox section was also slotted in. There were a lot of Welsh!

We then moved on to Repaint CM and Other CM, some gorgeous horses on show, the repaint section is always nice and the other CM section had some gorgeous drastic models on show.

The show finished with CTF, split into Bendy, Plastic and Other. The other section had loads of cute cuddly furry things, including an adorable little donkey! It also proved a good excuse for me to get out my My Little Ponies.

But enough talk, pictures! Here is a link to all the images: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10154174816295155.1073742006.689360154&type=1&l=0d74c7a8b8

And as always here are some selected highlights:

The OF Breyer Appaloosa class was very varied!
