| EEPS, the Royal Adelaide Show came around pretty quickly!! This year they decided to do the Breed Day a couple of weeks before the actual show - and as far as I am concerned, it went pretty darn well! The atmosphere was lovely, it was relaxed (as relaxed as a Royal Show can be!!), and everything was well set out, including there being plenty of time to get where you had to be! |
| The day of course started with a bit of drama..... |
| Kath & Nikki - The Lyndsworth Lodge team, were in front and were on their way to the showgrounds with Indy... Paige, Casey, Kath and Kirra were on their way in the Lovell's car and float with Dreamy onboard, and myself, Jess and Lina were in my car - having stopped at Maccas to get coffees and breakfast... We received a phone call from Paige saying that their vehicle had broken down and they werent going to get there... We arrived at the top of a hill on South Road (insane traffic for anyone who knows South Road!!) and swapped the float over onto my vehicle and Paige hopped in - and off we went leaving Casey, Kath and Kirra to sort out |
| "Big Ted" - the Lovell's car! It turned out that Ted was only a little bit injured, and needed a part replacing that cost a whole $3.50.... not something you want to happen on the way to a major show though!!! At the show, the horses in their stables, Indy fell in love with Axel - a gorgeous Part Arabian Palomino Stallion over the laneway - she must have a thing for blonde men! lol.... |
| Indy and Nikk headed into the ring for their 2yr old and Under WB Filly class - Indy was a bit full of herself in the practice, but thankfully in front of the judge, she was great! |
| After receiving first place against a very nice competitor, Indy was in the running for Champion WB Female. That title went to a gorgeous mare from Ponderosa Stud, and Indy recieved Reserve Champion - a fantastic effort - particularly considering that mare went on to win SUPREME WB of the show against the stallion and Poetry In Motion who is now a gelding. |
| CM Desert Dreams and Paige Lovell were ready for the 2yr old and under WB gelding class - and were up against the Royal Hit babies! Tough competition - beautiful looking youngsters who are a bit older than Dreamy and a bit more mature - and what do you know? Dreamy ended up with a 2nd place - he behaved beautifully and just did as Paige asked of him, and obviously impressed the judge! |
| Paige was nervous prior to the show - however she didnt need to be and she looked like she relaxed as she went around the ring a couple of times. Dreamy really is becoming an old hand at this showing caper, and is just so willing for Paige! When they were awarded their 2nd place ribbon - Paige gave him a kiss - Dreamy responded by trying to eat her hat! Cheeky bugger! |
| The Royal Adelaide Show 2011 was a huge success for the Lyndsworth Lodge, Lovell, Kokoda Park and CM Sporthorses team! A huge well done to all involved, and it is obvious that the Cleveland Bay Sporthorses are really holding their own in the Warmblood Rings these days. The second place getter in the Warmblood Mare class was also a Cleveland Bay Sporthorse, and there was another one in the same class as well. |
