As always our jumpingaround.com photographers cannot help themselves when it comes to the "canine friends" at horse shows and these two very cute candidates certainly get the "cuteness" award for this show!

The little pooch to the right is just an 8 week old puppy and he did get carried most of the day which is not too bad considering how tiny he is!

The qualifying show held at Millstreet is not run by the Duggan family but they do kindly allow their property to be used for the classes which is wonderful experience for many of these riders - and although Millstreet are not directly involved in running this show they are very generous with their own time, helping out and also by allowing their staff to help out which is great as they are obviously familiar with the "where's, what's and hows" of the facility.
Among the helpful staff of Millstreet is Jan, pictured right, who has only just begun working for the Duggan family and he will be breaking in their young stock - Jan started on Tuesday and by Friday was helping out with the stabling requirements for the show - and he did it well - keeping a smile on his face and cheer in his voice right through till the last horse was stabled for the night which was around 1am!

the comings....................

and goings.............

were definitely made easier with a reliable set of wheels!
