Educational class the Lincolnshire Show

Koning Albert and Dani Johnston had a successful outing to the Lincolnshire Show this week. As part of Berti's education, we wanted him to do some classes on grass and in an electric and busy atmosphere. This is certainly achieved at the Lincolnshire Show!

Having been invited to some training shows on grass, we were looking forward to this show at this great venue. This was a speed class at 1m30, and we had no intention of a top placing, just a nice clear was on the menu for us.

Having been at stud the day before, Berti couldn't believe his eyes with so many coloured miniature ponies and greys around and thought he'd died and gone to heaven. I thought he was going to misbehave, but he was like a total Pro walking past them all. I was so proud of him.

He went in and did a beautiful clear, although Dani used all her experience to give him confidence at some of the fences, we were so pleased with him. There were 26 entered and only 12 went clear, so we were so pleased to be one of them.

Congratulations also to Dani on winning her showing class on Jonnie Sargento, qualifying for HOYS. She had a busy show as she was riding 2 of her others there in the classes on both days. Also, so nice that Bertis other rider, Ellie Roberts and her family came to watch Berti in the jumping. #teamksh
