Pictured above, Moorcroft The Master (Synod George x Holmlea Charisma) 2005 Section C Stallion and Supreme Show Champion

On Sunday 28th June I managed to make it to the Gwent Area WPCA Sire Rating Points and Bronze Medal show at the Hilltop Sportsground,Ebbw Vale and I really enjoyed myself.  Lovely flat showground & very well organised, the show starts at 10.30 and I would think most of the competitors and spectators would be home in time for tea.  Every class that I saw was well attended and I only wish I could have caught the riddens too as there is the benefit of split stallion / mare & gelding classes for the Section C and D classes, with plenty of entries in most of the classes. 

The Section D judge had a difficult task making her decisions, none more so than the first class which produced the Champion Section D exhibit Hywi Mari (Nebo Sion x Hywi Rachel), a five year old broodmare, who went on to gain reserve supreme of show with the second placed mare in the same class,  Brynaur Broc, going on to be reserve champion D.

In the youngstock championship, it was the 2007 colt Cynheidre Sparkling Comet (Cynheidre Comet x Llanidan Non) who took the overall, with the yearling filly Lynbrie Anabelle taking reserve.

As the show finished early, I was able to capture the champions from all the sections (good light still at teatime!) so for those poor souls who say they check my results because sometimes I have other results, for once, you are in luck.

There was a professional photograpaher present, but I didn't hear her website address over the tannoy correctly. If she wants to get in touch, or if someone would let me know, I'll be happy to put a link here direct to her site.
