BMECS 2016


This year was my First BMECs. It was hosted in September, and I was beyond excited to show at it. To be able to show your horses have to have qualified 1st or 2nd in a qualifying show. You are then able to enter them in the class they qualified in at BMECs. I decided as it was my first year I would only show in the performance section.
I was hoping that maybe I would get one placing, that was my goal for the day, as I knew it would be really tough competition.

We drove up to Leicestershire night before BMECs and found out hotel. At this point I was crazy excited and nervous about showing, but I was looking forward to seeing my friends again.

We arrived at the hall saturday morning, and it was a huge venue. I was so nervous now, but i just wanted to unpack and finish tacking up all my horses ready to get them in the ring. I was really happy to find I was sitting by Zoe. I also had a massive table, its like they knew I had so much stuff ;) This made setting up much less stressful!

I took at total of ADD NUMBEr entries.
The first class for me was Cross Country, I have to say I was most nervous for this class as my best showing horse was in it. Divine Justice, my Extreme Justice II resin. I also had 2 other entries in this class, my stablemate jumping the badminton trucks, and my copperfox fabio aka BlockBuster jumping the boats.
I nervously sat and waited for the class to be judged. I was shocked to find not only had Divine Justice won the class, but BlockBuster came 2nd and Bella 3rd. I had a clean sweep. This was beyond what I had hopped for and it was only the first class.

I then showed Picasso in the Show jumping class. This was a really competitive class and I was not expecting anything, however, he some how managed to win this class, I was so shocked and happy I could not believe it.

Up next was Pony Club Games. In this I had Yolk-isant III doing Egg and spoon race. I was excited about this entry as I love it so much. He came first in this class

Very happy with my ponies, I know I have a lot to improve with my photo taking, but as a last minute thing I happy with how it turned out.
