Last Sunday I was taken to another show (second this year and getting to be a habit). As usual, I was subjected to the usual scrubbing and soaping beforehand. What's wrong with a bit of mud?


Here I am being ridden up the centre line. . . . . . why???


Apparently, I was very good in all my classes and as a result


I won the Championship for best Highland Pony! Here I am standing modestly with Kirsten, my rider. Of course, I was looking forward to the prizes. It's not everyday a pony is a Champion BUT would you believe it, the prize was a silver cup? What can a horse do with that? At the very least I would have expected a sack of carrots.

Disgruntled and ready to go . . . . no, I will not smile for the camera any more. I want to go home and get my tea!!

    Congratulations - being clean (at least for a moment) helped you win the prize, and perhaps there'll be carrots for tea!

    Congratulations Major!
    You know, you look really stunning on those photos, with fluffy mane and tail and all.
    (You can always take a roll when coming home)
    Why don't you tell Mum to put carrots in that thing? Then it can be of some use.
    Tell her also to place it at a convenient distance from your mouth, and to keep it filled up at all times.
    That's what I would do.
    Friendly nickers from

    Major says thanks for all the compliments but it will only encourage him to expect more food as a reward!

    Well done Major! You look fabulous and you know it. I can tell by that first picture that you are deliberately swishing that gorgeous backside at us. You are one handsome pony and you deserve to win the prize. I hope you got your tea and carrots.
