Bit too far for me to come - but it would be worth it to see you in your big posh hat and frock!

Bit too far for me to come - but it would be worth it to see you in your big posh hat and frock! It's not too far for you Looby, don't be kidding me, and you could even come to mine first and then you can come to the showground with us. Only 15 mins from mine! Just been down to the Show Field this morning, and they are setting up etc, and left my Polly Grey Trophy, aw, Bless her little cotton socks. I would swap the trophy to have Polly back believe me. I WILL NOT BE PRESENTING THE TROPHY!!!! I WILL NOT BE WEARING A BIG HAT AND POSH CLOTHES !!!! But I will be there taking some photos. I heard from one of the organisers this morning that there has been some grumbles from the horsey contingent who take part in the show each year that the donkeys will upset the horses  I am really looking forward to tomorrow even more (chuckles) |

Those horse owners are silly. If their horses don't like donkeys then they'd easily get over it if they meet loads. Bracken can vouch for that, he doesn't even seem to mind that much when Derek is swinging on his tail! The other day I heard of a horse rider that asked a nursery (child- care one) to put the children in at 'playtime' because she couldn't ride her horse past because it was scared of the children. |

I do hope there will be enough interest next year too, and if we can arrange some carriage driving all the better! I think the Bowes Show committee are going to look into the possibillity. |
