Having fun with November Horse Agility

Lots of our donkeys have been trying out the agility this month - and two of our helpers!
Here's Jakey Ted's debut entry :-
Here's Jake's friend Jasper - his second entry.
...and Charlie with Sue...
but he did a better round for Bart.....


that's Toby in the middle. He hates to be left out so we play a bit with Toby too. Toby can't see very well but we are hoping to teach him to follow so that he is able to take part.
Here's Sammy the big stallion:


..and here's Sammy's friend Pierre being Pierre. He's slow but he was comingbecause he wanted to not because he was being pulled. He hates being on the lead as you can see by all the rope tossing !


Our helpers Anne and Nigel had a go too with Noah and Sinead so hopefully we'll be able to post their videos soon too.
Now to see what marks we all got.........
SCORE SHEETS
We had a full on Donkey Class this month too (ten entries!), I hope you will all enter into the Special Christmas course where donkeys look so perfect.

Comments Don’t accept mediocre! You have some fantastic stuff in here but allow small errors to magnify, such a pity. Take care of the small things and the big things go away.
