Well, the judging and the results are in and we'd like to thank everyone who entered the comp for taking the trouble to send in their pics....and there were lots too. As they always say, there has to be a winner and we have one, but before that just a few words about the judging session.
The tame vet actually turned up on time. The new four wheel drive he's purchased recently is not the wonder vehicle he'd imagined and so I had to endure nearly half an hour of technical mumbo-jumbo, finger pointing and tutting, including such phrases as 'viscous coupling', 'full time fwd', 'sat nav update problems', 'leaking gaskets', 'seats that don't fold properly' and 'excessive fuel consumption'....and more and all of this on a vehicle he chose but the company he's with runs and generally looks after. I very nearly took him out the back and gave him chapter and verse on 'er indoors 10 year old Ford Festiva, but it wasn't worth the effort. He was here to judge.
And he did...ok, it took some time and he finished off half a dozen muffins and about a gallon of my best coffee but as I've always said, he has a rare eye for horses. It was no surprise when he chose the winner....I had the same choice in mind too..... honest! 'Er indoors was positively gushing with praise for his choice and even he had the decency to blush at her comments. S'funny, that doesn't happen to me much these days.....
And the moment you've all been waiting for. Well, it was Karen's photo of her little foal 'Pumpkin' that took the prize and here he is. If you can't see the pic, then you can click on this link and it will take you a photo on the H10 web site. Karen gets a equine mirror of her own choosing from Kim at Kimmika Designs
We'll be putting all the pics up on our Picasa album site before Xmas and we'll email you with the web address so that you can all go and have a look. There are some great horse pictures.
It's a short newsletter this week with the comp news as promised but if you want that 'last minute' equine pressie then have a look at the H10 web site and we're sure we can get it to you or your lucky recipient before the great day.
By the way, several of my horsey friends around the world have got together to give away some nice things for horse lovers everywhere. There's no catch....I've already got lots and you should have a good look too.
