SEWPCA Stud Judging competition 2008
I don't do that much in-hand showing, but always enjoy the biannual stud judging - this year judged by Jill Williams of Glebedale Stud. Sadly I was away and missed the judging but my daughter Lexy and friend Ann Fisher deputised for me and obviously did a very good job as I was very pleased to come back to some good results.
Forlan Welsh Cream and her two daughters F. Creme de Cassis and F. Creme Chantilly won their class and were overall Ch Sec A group.
F. Prima Donna, F. Evadne and F. Ariadne, all filly foals by Flydon Henadur, won the class for 3 Sec As by the same stallion/out of the same mare.
As a whole, the stud was second overall (to Danaway) in the large studs class, and the Ds were only beaten by the Danaway Ds all the way through the competition - I'm pleased with that as I only have a few and they are bred specifically to be ridden, not aimed at in-hand showing.
