For my birthday, I celebrated it in my favourite way—surrounded by my family and preparing ponies for an upcoming show. The days celebrations was brimming with bubbles in more ways than one. With the festivities over and the ponies thoroughly washed we set to bed for an early start the next morning. We journeyed to the NPS Summer Championship show with two ponies in tow, Snelsmore Xanthe and Oxgang Ferando. I was particularly excited about leading Oxgang Ferando, marking his debut since acquiring him at the Worcester Shetland pony sales. Ferando has been covering until recently and now turning his hoof to the show ring. Despite the somewhat disappointing number of entries, both Xanthe and Ferando won in their respective classes. All our patience and hard work paid off, as Ferando showed his inexperience in the ring but was still behaved impeccably throughout, earning him the of Miniature Shetland Champion and the Reserve Overall Shetland Championship.
Bubbles all round
