We embarked on our journey to the Mid-Somerset Show at the brisk hour of 4:00 a.m., with Snelsmore Venus and Snelsmore Xyla.
For Xyla, it marked her first outing in an affiliated show, having only ventured out once before to Sparsholt College, where she secured a second place in an open youngstock class. The experience evidently worked wonders for her, as she displayed newfound confidence with another second place in the two- & three-year class, and the Reserve Junior Championship. Venus, the older sibling from the same mare Kindy Heidi, outshone her younger sister by winning in a competitive mare class of thirteen ponies along with the Senior Championship and the Miniature Championship.
With Cliff still side-lined, I was fortunate to have an exceptional groom and two eager ponies, making the task of showing them an absolute joy. As they say, teamwork makes the dream work!
The girls did us proud!
