A big big thank you to Lisa - Thirlestane

[maggiemay]

Would just like to say a huge thankyou to Lisa for organising Thirlestane Masterclass and Parade.

I was in the ridden class and had a fantastic day. I thought it was very nice how they did the talk about the ex racers and each individual horse, the turnout was great, lots of people watching and all horses looked amazing. The rossettes were stunning as well. Met lots of lovely members from Scotland and can't wait until next year!!

I was intending to come back on the Sunday to do the parade as I enjoyed it that much, I got home, cleaned tack again, replaited Maggie, washed jodpurs and shirt, re packed the car and was all set for the early start the nexy day until I woke up at 4.00am with heavy storms lashing against the bedroom window and the garden near to flooding. There was no sign of it letting up and it didn't stop until 10:30am so I didn't want to chance driving with the trailer in that weather, was totally gutted.

Hope you all had a fantastic day today, I was thinking about you all and hope to see you all again shortly as I intend to come to Lanark show.

Thanks once again Lisa for organising a great day, I think the ex racers will have done the club proud as Mam and Dad were talking to several people and they were all very impressed with them.

:(I would also like to also say a big thank you to Lisa and everyone else who helped during the weekend.Unfortunately I was unable to go as I was working.My horse Todd(Silver Bullet) did make an appearance on both days with my friend Sarah riding him in which she came 5th in the master class.When she came home she presented me with an absolutely fantastic rosette.
Tomorrow when I Finnish work I'll be able to watch all the action as they taped it all on the camcorder.
Hope everyone else had a great day and I hope see all soon at another event.
Once again a very big thank you

I second that. Lisa did a fantastic job orgnaising this event, and did a great job commentating for the parade today.

I've really enjoyed myself, even though it didn't exaclty go to plan with Emily yesterday.....but then that's horses!

Thank you Scot North!

And I shall just third that!! We've had a great time.

Thoroughly enjoyed the 2 days & thrilled to be placed 6th in the masterclass & win best veteran with Jad.

Thanks to LisaH for all her hard work in organising it and her excellent commentary today in the parade - you're just a natural at that! Hopefully you will be able to get Denzel there next time.

It was great to see so many new faces and all the lovely horses so beautifully turned out.

Jad got home and had a MEGA roll in the wettest mud he could find - there is now not a single white hair to be seen on him - leapt up & galloped off to see his mates shrieking his arrival the whole way! I think I can just about forgive him after being such a good boy for the weekend. ;D

::)What a weekend & a huge thank you to Lisa for making it happen, I really enjoyed yesterday even though Eddie behaved like a spoilt BRATT!! He had his ears flat to his head & decided he didn't want to take part I tried to sit there & smile & decided Thirlestane wasn't the place to have it out with him "boy did he pick his moment" Never mind I suppose you have to take the rough with the smooth....... Thank you for yet another scotnorth rosette & they were stunning

I really enjoyed the parade today & I thought you did a great job, all the horses behaved fab & looked a million dollars

As the owner of an honorary ex racer (really a Welsh D that likes to play with occasional ex racer) I have to say I was really really impressed with how the parade thing was organised. Lisa did a fab talk. Everyone was turned out to such a high standard (I especially loved the side saddle...). All the horses seemed to really look like they were enjoying doing their little show pieces.

Well done everyone! It looked like fun

[misstickle]

What a weekend. It was amazing.
The horses all looked fantastic,and went beautifully.
I haven't laughed so much for I don't know how long.The craic was fab.
The rosettes were beautiful. I heard two eventers commenting that they wouldn't mind winning them as I ran past with them on the way to the ring.
The venue was totally out of this world. The weather was good

Lisa's commentary was brilliant, informative and professional.
I must of got something in my eyes as they were a bit watery during some of the horses history's and achievements. It was worth nagging Lisa to do it.
Thank you Durafarm for the loan of Izzy in the dog show. We won dog that the judge would most like to take home. Izzy won not me!
Cheers Lisa it was the best weekend ever, nest year'll be even better You are a star

[Mindy]

Thank you Lisa, on behalf of myself and Skips, for all your hard work and devotion to making this event happen. It was brilliant and I will cherish the memories forever. XXX
