Royal Winter Fair

Tara and I and Darren and Hannah spent the day at the Royal Winter Fair yesterday. We had lots of fun. It was a busy day:

• Tara did some tack shopping and picked up another blanket, some saddle cream and a few other things
• We all partook in the many and varied samples at the booths. Samples that stand out are some good soft cheese and some great cranberry salsa
• We watched the afternoon show which consisted of
• The Canadian Jumper finals
• Tommy Turvy (rode around on two ponies standing up - kinda a one trick show)
• The Iam super dogs (dogs that ran over dinky little jumps - last year was much much better when the dogs ran the same course that the horses did)
• Two wheeled cart competition (Percheron)
• Four wheeled cart competition (Road horses - Standarbred)
• Wagon completions (Clydesdale)
• Large Pony Hunter

After the fair, we had a fine dinner at Swiss Chalet and then browsed around Ikea for a bit. It was a good day.

My camera didn't work too well in the fair, but here are a few pictures to make you want to go

This is the view from the top of the arena - I love the colours in this picture


Man these horses can jump!
