ScotNorth Show Jumping Show

[lisah]

Well - today's show was just FANTASTIC.

It was our first SJ show and we were a bit nervous about it, but everyone had such a great day, lots of laughs and the sun shone all day.

It was great to see a good mix of ex racehorses and none ex racehorses and smiling, happy riders.

HUGE thanks have to go to :

Chestnuttymare - for organising the venue, photographer, catering etc etc
BingBong - for designing the course and scoring the classes
Alfiesmam and Laura - for taking etries on the day and keeping the class sheets up to date
Scott Rose (Farrier) for sponsoring all the classes

Thanks also to the Ground Crew for running about all day making sure the classes ran smoothly, competitors were waiting and ready to go, putting up the jumps and for clearing up afterwards.

Special mention to all the horses who were not placed, every single horse and rider were absolutely brilliant on the day and it was a pleasure to watch everyone.

The venue was just perfect, the arena was massive and meant we could build a good course with plenty of room.

Feedback from the day was great, everyone had a good time and want us to organise more events like this, which we will do

My best memories of the day, well I can not decide between

1. CNM and BB singing the lap of honour music over the tannoy to add to the atmosphere

2. MissT's great impression of Paddington Bear, including hiding the mars bar cake under her hat

3. The mars bar cake

4. Seeing Ballyrush flying round the jumps, looking so different from the skinny wreck that was rescued, and looking so proud to be out doing something

Another great ScotNorth day out

Well done everyone.

Well done all! Sounds like a fab day!

[chestnuttymare]

WOW WOW WOW
What a flippin' brilliant day! I was a nervous wreck that everything would go well.
What can I say, we had a great turnout, beautiful horses and lovely people, everyone was so friendly and sporting.
It was great to meet lots of people that I had only spoken to on the phone.
I was so pleased to see the ones who were all nervous before the show started just go in there and give it what for. Then get a decent placing too.
There were no complaints from anybody and nobody fell off You can't ask for better than that.

Few thanks to people from me
Bing Bong for designing the course, judging so well and being so organised and keeping me calm over the past week ;D
Alfiesmam and her daughter Laura who made a fab job of show secretary. I am so glad you guys did that as i knew that if you were doing it that it would be so well run.
Paramedic Sheila who had a nice day sitting by the ring, she didn't have anything to do all day
Sharon the caterer with her snack van, all the food was lovely and the caramel shortbread was to die for.
Taken Event photographer, Andy was great and had a lovely set up that meant you could see the pics immediately and buy prints then and there.
Miss tickle for stewarding and keeping order in the practice ring and making sure the right people came into the ring when they were meant to.
Helen, Geoff, Lisa for repairing and adjusting the fences.
Fiona who owns Fieldings for a brilliant venue and all her help with the setting up

Oh god it's like the oscars Credit where it's due though as these things can't happen without everyone mucking in.

Bing bong and i were so good with our singing that we are considering the X Factor. our talent really should be shared

Thanks again everyone for making it such a fantastic Scotnorth day.

It was a brilliant day! Nice to see everyone again...including paddington!

It was nice to see people having ago and enjoying what they did.

I must admit I agree with you Lisa on the 4 memorable things from the day!

When we left we took the girls off to see the Falkirk wheel and we managed to catch it in action!
