Great Pictures! Love the one of my wee scruffy Chester, too!

[Mindy]

Chester is gorgeous and even although highly allergic to hairy beasts of most descriptions, Davy loved him!!! X

[honorarylili]

Ohh, poor Davy - didn't realise he was allergic. And he didn't stand a chance with Chester who strangely was drawn to him (over in the warm up area Davy got out of the car and Chet clocked him and was straining at the end of the leash waving his paws and squealing to say hello). Plus Chester was on high moult action which I'm sure the wind was blowing in Davy's direction. He's a very good sport to be out and about getting mugged by horses and dogs though.

awwhhh i am sooo moved that you won with big skippy mindy!! blooming marvolous - lisa where you crying again? i would be too lol

Yes, Lisa will tell you too! I was very tearful and back at the trailer got very upset when my best friend phoned and was crying down the phone to me. He means everything to me and to be recognized for working hard with something meant so much. I am not used to it and it was hard to take. This horse had a 7 year career in NH racing and overcame a horrendous injury and to be so adaptable so soon after racing takes my breath away. I have not yet spoke to Len Lungo or Ashleybank to tell them how well their one-time star has done. The lad that looked after Skipper all his racing days does not know yet either. I wanted to tell him in person.

I am getting upset even typing this, I truely didn't think he'd take the win because he was bitten by a cleg on his man bits when we were in the first line up and took an uncharacteristic paddy fit about it. I nearly took him out of the ring because I didn't know what had upset him and didn't want him spoiling anyone elses day by upsetting their horses. But he then stood like a christian and gave me a lovely ride.

Well done everyone, each and every horse was stunning. XXX

Your display was just lovely to watch & he is a huge credit to you, what you have achieved with him already is truly amazing. The bond between the 2 of you is there to be seen & there couldn't have been a better winner You both were just "STUNNING"

[lisah]

Well said Pam - I agree.

BUT - you were all winners both days, a total credit to yourselves and to ScotNorth.

How is Eddie's back today ?

Lxxxx

[bingbong]

yes how is eddies back ? thats a shame maybe thats why he was upset on sat? eddie is such a stunner too poor lad

[misstickle]

I think a few of us had a wee tear in the eye when Skips pulled it out the bag. I certainly did when he paraded the next day. He looks amazing Mindy.
I was trying to get Lisa's attention when he was being bitten in boytown! It must've been sore.
Those are brilliant pictures.
PST I hope Eddie feels better soon, it just wasnt like him on Saturday, hes usually such a good lad. Give him a huge hug from me

[misstickle]

oh and although the others were mortified by my shouting
I think Skips deserved his
WOOOOOOHOOOOOOOO when he won
