SUNDAY STILLS CHALLENGE - POT LUCK

Hot off the press from the 25th Annual Northampton Driving Society Carriage Show.


 Many Haflingers were there today.

Jane and her Morgan Joy Joy had a good morning.
 Above is Brutus....who came over to use our arena a few weeks ago to prepare for this show.
Below are Jan (his owner) and Justine, her assistant.

 His first driving competition.

 My friend Tina was there too....taking pictures.
He was excellent in the ring, but was not happy to stand still at the end of the classes (for backing).  With more exposure, this should not be a problem.  I left by 12:30 and would imagine he improved by his afternoon classes.  Such a sweet boy!













Perfect weather....

    This looks like fun (and now that I googled halfingers, I'm more knowledgeable, too!)

    That the first carriage driver ( Jane ) looks like an actress who gets constantly gets to play historic parts.. that would look good in sepia (she looks great in color, of course but she has kind of an another time look to her)!
