Saturdays predicted hideous weather thankfully never eventuated and the sun shone albeit behind a light cloud cover - but the rains held off until late in the afternoon when the showjumping was over and the Cross Country for the 3* Horse Trials was all but over.
Pictured left - the Foxground crew, headed by Simon Kale even managed to enjoy some "sitting in ther sunshine"!
The trade stands were delighted when the maintenance crews came aorund with a generous supply of wood shavings to blot up the swamp which
had formed over night in front of many of the stands after heavy rains fell - which was also a cause for headaches for the Eventing fraternity as they were left wondering how the cross country would hold up for the potential Olympic horses - but with the dry conditions and wind to soak up much of the damp things did improve somewhat.
As always the phones were running hot - pictured above left, centre and right.....................

Pictured below left - one of the best new products we have spotted - the tent that attaches to the side of the trailer giving a private, strong and weatherproof queen sized bedroom which doesn't have that overpowering stench of amonia that can be experienced sleeping in the trailer at shows!
Stephanie Djikstra is keeping herself and her mother/business partner Sicca - pictured above right - busy as they travel the countryside with the Anky range of equestrian wear. Great clothes, in designs not seen in Australia before and at an affordable price with plenty of bargains at the shows!

Pictured left - even the "head on a stick" horse gets rugged at the posh SIEC venue!

 

Pictured right - colourful fashion at its best was seen everywhere but this one was definitely our pick for "fashion on the field"
