Aberaeron Festival of Welsh Ponies and Cobs 2008
How lucky were we with that weather! I nearly didn't go, it was soooh wet inland.
Just like last year it was a lovely balance of very organised and extremely relaxed. I rather like that little grey pictured above. How many of us started on something similar? So many exhibitors with big grins on their faces. It was refreshing to be present at an event where everyone attended for no greater reason than to show off with their pride and joy for the afternoon.
Now I know it looks like there was only one stunt person in the Rockin' Horses Team, but there were actually 4 riders. But as I was opposite the stands, I got the backside of a few displays, and most of the other stunts were done on the "other side of the horse". It has got nothing to do with Guido Louis' exotic little backside I promise...
My daughter loved the pageant, but wasn't wholey impressed with the sweaty stallions, so what with the desire for a donkey ride & ice cream, we left before the final part of the day (and the rain I think), so I missed the last couple of hours. I bet there is a DVD coming out though. Best check the official website...
Well done to the organisers and exhibitors, good job.
