Dog and Dobbin

Well we couldn't let it go by without a mention.

Bamber and Rosco's first dog and dobbin, with a very creditable 3rd place. It was Rosco's birthday yesterday, so it was perfect timing at a year and a day to have a go.

Caitlan and Bamber rode a great first round, and then it was Rosco and Dad, who went off to a flying start with both clearing the spread with grace, ease and style, then an amazing piece of pole work by Rosco who had never even seen the poles before but negotiated the in and out requirement excellently. Then it all went a bit pear shaped, with Rosco tripping up dad, then deciding that a new game of jump on dad was more fun, and when dad finally pulled himself off the floor, two more great jumps by the newbies finished the round. Slightly exhausted, but still laughing.

What a hoot, can't wait till the next one. Here's a photo of Rosco sitting proud with his rosette.
