Friesian’s Scotland show 2012

Britain’s first Friesian horse show 30th June 2012 It was fantastic to see that so many people supported this show and made creating an event entirely for this breed worthwhile. It was pretty daunting taking this on as it started off as an idea to create a small event and raise some money for the Scottish SPCA but when we realised that friesian enthusiasts were coming from the north of Scotland, south of England and lots of places inbetween, even as far away as Grand Canaria the pressure was on a little! The weather had been horrendous in the run up to the show so much so that most of the outdoor events near by had been cancelled so I was worried that the rain would have put people off and class entries would be low but I was delighted to see that very few of the pre entries did not turn up and we had a number of entries on the day, so many in fact that we had to split the in hand mare class which had already had to be split to have mares and geldings seperate! It was fabulous to see all friesian horses together and real enthusiasts here to support the competitors and watch the show.
