Lake District Live 2016!

I had great plans to make many dioramas and setups for this show, but in all honesty...I forgot about it until literally the week before!

Luckily I had enough bits and pieces from previous setups and photostories to bring so I was able to do more scene classes than I'd originally thought!

Anyway, every good show report starts at the beginning, so here we go!

Royal Highland Show 2016 - #11 - All the rest!

Pretty much everything I couldn't fit into the other posts!

Royal Highland Show 2016 - #10 - Clydesdales and Unicorns!

After oohing and ahhing over all the fuzzy ponies, we wandered over to the heavy horse area. The indoor stables were closed off as everyone was getting their horses ready for the harness classes, but we were able to walk behind them and see a few being groomed and tacked up outside.

Royal Highland Show 2016 - #9 - Ponies, ponies and yet more ponies!

The post you've all been waiting for - lots and lots of fuzzy pony goodness!

Royal Highland Show 2016 - #8 - Mini Major

We unfortunately missed this class but caught the ending and lap of honour. I don't know much about it but I think it involves a horse and pony pair jumping. We literally saw the last pair finish jumping to wild applause but had no idea what was going on!

Royal Highland Show 2016 - #7 - The Most Majestic Floof!

I was going to include this particular pony in the last post but felt he deserved a thread of his own!

Royal Highland Show 2016 - #6 M&M Working Hunter Pony

As I've said before, the Working Hunter classes are some of my favourites as let's face it, tiny ponies jumping is just as, if not more entertaining than the adult showjumping!

 

Royal Highland Show 2016 - #5 Warmup Ring

I always love watching the warmup ring for the jumping classes often more than the classes themselves as you can get a much better view for the most part!
