Royal Wedding Day

Instead of watching the television we thought we would have our own 'Royal Wedding' day.  So we groomed the ponies until they shone (as much as they can in their winter coats) and plaited them all up with ribbons.  Shiny rugs completed the picture and the riders dressed up too.

Getting ready...

It tickles!

The fastest plaiter in Essex!

 

We took them all up to the arena in all their finery and had a Grand Parade.

 

Bethan won the prettiest princess competition on Snowy.

 

Tinky felt a bit left out and was watching with envy at how pretty all the other small ponies looked.  So she got Tom to give her a bit of a groom too.  He has lots of work to do!
