Winston Churchill

[willowoodstables]

I just got this pony in mid December last year, so of course with the horrible winte I figured I'd never get him broke and into the ring this spring. Well talk about the Hackney Work Ethic..he took to harness like a duck to water and became quite brave and go forward, so off we went to Syracuse International (Syracuse NY). We showed as a Roadster Pony and he was a superstar..we got a 3rd out of 6.

My greenhorn Hubby showed his pony in Show Pleasure and he was 4th out of 8, and he had a GREAT drive!!!!

Here are the pics (yes I did buy them)

This is Winston Churchill in his very first turn around the ring ..he really looked at the photographer!!

And Hubby Alan's pony JJ (aka Cockleburr's Titan) as a pleasure pony

Enjoy and thanks for letting me share!

OMG OMG OMG Desiree!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I WAS there LOLOLOL. I figured out at CNE that JOE is your stepdad????????? I tried to find Joe up at CNE ( I was down the aisle from Glen Downey). I was the Junior Road Poy that LEFT the ring LOLOL at Barrie!!!!' My girlfriend Judy Nixon came back from Glen's tackroom one night (bad tackroom to hang out at LOLOLOL) and said that Joe was talking about going to Tulsa and Judy was telling him to find me to give him the scoop. I SOOOOO cannot believe I probably ran by you a million times at Barrie!!!!!!

Yes folks, Winston Churchill proved HOW green he was when he never made the turn in the ring, went down a 35% embankment, took a tour around the infield and then came back up the bank into the ring LOLOL without missing a beat! Needless to say (quoting the judge) although you were in the top three, I couldn't give you anything because he left the ring LOLOLOL.

He redeemed himself at the CNE, with a third in the junior class and then a 6th out of 9 in the open championship....he was the only baby in the class and he ROCKED. Hopefully the pics will be up on line this weekend from the photo lady and I can post them...I had numerous people come to me and say she had some great shots of him.
