HOYS

[April]

Just wondered who was going to HOYS on Wednesday? I've managed to win tickets and wangle my way out of work very excited as I've never been before, only to the British Open there and I've heard HOYS is much better. I'll be on my own in the day until mom finishes work and comes up so come and say hi

Good luck to everyone competing too - I know Nic is but not sure about anyone else??

we are going and our Rebel is there.
good luck to everyone competing

Yes, Nic will be there with our Bill, hope to see you there. You will have to try and find us at some point.

HOYS is ace! Yes we'll be there, Rebel has qualified again so down with him and Sarah. Always look forward to it! We will be at the caldene arena a lot of the time (normally down towards the entrance where the horses come in), its not that big so i'm sure we'll cross paths.

Yes, I've just booked tickets for Wed. Looking forward to seeing Kia's dad compete and hopefully catching up with a few Dalesfans.

Yeah we will be there - quietly cheering Bill and Nic

We should have been more organised and had t-shirts printed!!!!

Hope to see a few of you round the Caldene Arena in the morning

Have fun everyone who is going, and good luck to Bill and Rebel.
They are all stars just to qualify .

Just got home - shattered after early start.

All Ponies looked fab! Nic & Bill looked beautiful and performed really well, Bill held it all together and looked a Pro!

Rebel went really well and was placed can't remember where??
Waterside Black Prince won the class, Brian Williams with Kebroyd Onyx was 4 th I think

GO the Dales!!!!!!!!

[harveydales]

Thanks for the update, Alison. Well done all Dales!

[maggie]

I think Rebel was 7th, well done to him.

[DalesLady]

Yes, we are back. Bill didn't look out of place there and behaved himself in the ring which was our biggest concern and I am very proud of Bill and Nicola even though they did not get placed. It was a huge experience for us as it was our first time at anything like that and at least we can say we have done it and been there
And its another thing off my tick list of things to do before I am 50

There were 6 Dales ponies in the top 7
Waterside Black Prince 1st
Waterside Ben II 3rd
Kebroyd Onyx 4th
Kilmannan Robert the Bruce 5ht
Kilmannan Black Wizard 6th
Lowhouses Rebel 7th

Very good results for the Dales ponies overall I think

Thank you to everyone for your support.

[cadeby]

Fantastic results for the breed

Those memories will last you a lifetime Penny and I think Bill will be there again one day

Does anyone have any photos?

[harveydales]

Wow, brilliant!

Had a lovely day, the Dales did fab, all of them.

Was extra pleased with Rebelman of course, he went really well and lovely to be 7th.
