As all equine fanatics may be aware, Horse of the Year show (HOYS) is literally just around the corner now. Tomorrow in fact.I don't know about you but, all year I have seen endless facebook and twitter updates about individuals pondering over the dreaded "Will we, wont we" qualify question, or whether or not to enter the Search for a Star classes.
I've also seen the 'less' enthusiastic comments about one person qualifying over another and someone being jealous. I am sure in the world of competing seriously its all quite hectic right now as people prepare for their highlight outing of the season.
However, whether you're a competitor or spectator, I am sure all of you are looking forward to getting ready to travel down to one of the most famous horse shows in England and eagerly awaiting the doors to open.
With endless shopping opportunities, chances to meet and greet famous riders, watch the Pony Clubs battle it out for the Prince Phillip cup in the mounted games and much more, Horse of the Year Show is an attraction for all ages of the family.
I personally cannot wait to head down to HOYS as I experience what it is like to report from one of the biggest horse shows of the year. If any of you catch a glimpse of me please do not hesitate to introduce yourself and say hello! If I'm weighed down with shopping bags then also don't be surprised!
So, before all the excitements get too much and everyone forgets, I would just like to take this time to wish a few friends good luck at HOYS 2012.
Dominique and Chunky Monkey - Search for a Star - Cob classCourtney Brown - Miniature horse classes
Georgi Wood - Miniature horse classes
Claire Cryer - Search for a star - Cob class
These are just four of many friends competing, but I would be reeling off a long list if I were to name them all.
Good luck to each and every competitor, enjoy the moment and smile at every opportunity. This your chance to shine and show off your equines.
