Ring 3 was pretty tough for the babies as the champion was 3 and U, but we were more than happy with the results on the day.

He then went on to win his Part Welsh class to mature over 13hh and was sashed Reserve Champion Part Welsh Colt to the Supreme Part Welsh foal. His final class was his Arabian Pony colt foal class which he won and went on to be sashed Reserve Champion to the eventual supreme winner again. He behaved beautifully, with impeccable manners and congratulations also to Steve for showing him off so professionally. We were over the moon with how the ponies worked and presented at this years Royal. With harness on one side, and showjumping on the other, they could both be forgiven for being a little antsy at times, but overall they behaved fantastically and did everything that was asked of them. Marconi Gold Strike was awarded Reserve Champion Buckskin Stallion/Colt to our delight, and Marconi Gold Soveriegn, our gorgeous yearling filly worked her way from fourth to second placing in a strong 3Yr and U Buckskin filly class.

Harry took everything in his stride, washing, plaiting, clipping, floating, tying to a float for the first time, and showing. What a superstar, trotted out like an old hand and made us both very very proud. Results, Champ Buckskin Exhibit for Delilah and Reserve Champion Palomino Exhibit for Harry.
