Karen, those are beautiful pictures! With the sun setting in the background it looks magical! Well done to you both! You must be exhausted. Dave and me said we don't think we'd be able to cope for a week! Still, we might be able to to if we could have Colin as our groom, what a little star he was! Particularly when he helped clean up Daniel! (Lol!)
Have a good rest now, you deserve it!

That 2nd photo with the sun setting is quite something isn't it? Would love to see the video sometime. I bet it is stunning. Aren't the ponies shiny? (How many baths did Daniel have over the whole week? LOL!)
I think I would find it a bit stressful for a whole week too but maybe if we could clone Colin?

What fab pics, the first one you two are synchronised perfectly and I love the second with the sun setting (and NO rain!!) just beautiful, wish I could have been there to cheer you on! The ponies look superb and gleaming under the lights, what a fantastic time you had judging by those huge grins on your face! ;D

Lovely photos Karen. Share more when they come in! i have some more i will load later anna.........got to go round collecting all my ponies now! LOL linda i think daniel had about 7 baths in the week!!!!! LOL sue, you did a fab job of bathing daniel, that mud just wasn't going to come off! daniel is usually easy to clean up, but after all that welded to him it certainly took team effort to get him ready.........4 of us!

I was really sorry to have missed it. At 8.15pm my client hadn't turned up. I was getting ready to shoot back to Newark and getting all excited thinking I would be able to watch after all. But she got the time wrong and turned up at 8.30 for her treatment. I tried not to look toooo displeased to see her! LOL!
