We had such a fun day indeed. It reminded me of my pony clubbing days as well as when I lived and worked on an Appaloosa Stud farm...fun times indeed. It is hard to believe it was so long ago now. Great fun reliving some of those experiences through the fun of the dolls, horses and great friends.<br /><br />Wasn't Laura turned out beautifully indeed? My lot have asked for me to make them some 'proper' horse riding gear! There have been orders for jodphurs, shirts and riding jackets.Serenatahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08473750681150978115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6622051661892478283.post-82208373590865021852015-08-30T17:36:16.647+01:002015-08-30T17:36:16.647+01:00Great fun, got to love horses, brought back some g...Great fun, got to love horses, brought back some great memories of my pony club years.Serenatahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08473750681150978115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6622051661892478283.post-10522022615104536222015-08-30T17:35:50.316+01:002015-08-30T17:35:50.316+01:00We were lucky with the weather weren't we?

(This, had it been shown earlier, would have been a great help to us in choosing ours, not to mention the fact that we would have loved to have joined you all!)<br /><br />We had to smile at the first jump made from Weetabix biscuits! Very inventive indeed! It looked so realistic as a jump made from stacked hay bales. (The other two remaining jumps were very true to life too.)<br />Loved the setting (fab. planting and well cared for lawn) and the spectators sitting enjoying the show in the sunshine. Particularly liked that metal/nylon folding chair.<br /><br />PS. Must add that Little Laura was excellently turned out for this event.<br /><br />Kendalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11055482039650447240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6622051661892478283.post-85835726211633431842015-08-30T03:36:20.093+01:002015-08-30T03:36:20.093+01:00Love it!
