Yes, I had to babysit for Posy once more when she was taken to a show. There is a pattern developing whereby I have to travel in the lorry, then twiddle my toes in a stable for hours while Posy charges madly round and round, and then back in the lorry again to listen to Her wailing on the way home about how disappointed She is at Posy's performance. Posy won the red pom-pom because there were only two competitors in the Freestyle class and the other competitor was even worse than Posy. I have been asked to gloss over Posy's performance in the first class ('dire' She said), even though three were worse than Posy, and the organisers had charitably given her a 'Placed' rosette as it was Christmas.
Posy says she found the whole competition shebang overwhelming and felt compelled to charge madly about with her nose stuck out. That wasn't really dressage in the view of the judge. However, She was greatly cheered because the judge liked Her 'lovely' music, so She is putting the CD away to bring it out again when Posy can do dressage.
Posy is having a rest now to get over the mental exhaustion she suffered from yesterday, whereas I have been busy delivering Christmas gifts and collecting eggs. Then I had to trot round the arena in front of the video camera as She is now plotting some kind of music performance for me...
