Can’t believe how late I am to post this 🫣 after posting it on my personal page it mayyy have slipped my mind to post on here. But anyway here it is here is the Full Midland Counties Show report. It’s a long one so grab a cuppa and go for a ti**le first 🤣

Well Lacey Higgs your Irish girl has done it again. This mare is truly one in a million. We started in a very strong amateur cob class pulling a very respectable 5th against some quality company, and then a last minute entry to put her into the open heavyweight class and she went absolutely beautiful, pulling up second and getting her second golden ticket of the season, so After qualifying for the rihs at her first ever qualifying show she’s gone and qualified again at just her second qualifier. I don’t quite have the words to put together on how proud I am of her.

My absolute pride and joy. My little spicy Welsh baby 🏴
So after living out since September last year he’s had the winter to mature and be a horse. At first we didn’t know how it would go bringing him back into work especially with no arena and no close by bridleways but oh my goodness what a dream boat he has been, he has his little moments here and there but that’s what gives him so much character 🫶🏼 so for him to look and go like this with no stable, no running water and no arena it just makes me so so excited on what is to come.
Just one class for him today as it’s his first outing since the beginning of September so we took him into the pretty Polly home produced m&m and all I can say is WOW!!
He gave me the most amazing go round and individual I couldn’t have asked for any more of him just a little impatient with standing but we’re still working on that. Some lovely comments off of the judge who said he gave her the best show but it was just the standing that unfortunately dropped him down.
I am so unbelievably proud of both of these ponies this weekend they make all the mud, drenched clothes and bruises worth it.
I never say it as I always feel like I’m coming across vain but I’m so proud of how I’ve got them looking and how I’ve got them going with no facilities at all and it only being my third show of the year.
Midland counties 2024 over and out ✌🏼you’ve been amazing ❤️
