Four Faults

Well, no not four. We went to the Royal Windsor Horse Show today. It was a shakey start as we went to the main ring to watch some show jumping. There were a couple of names competing that I was eager to see. Sadly "A" got bored quickly. This rather surprised me as she can watch jumping at the riding school for ages. A five year olds brain is difficult to fathom however. It may have been more that she wanted to do other things. Anyway, relented and we allowed her to climb up the army wall, she did quite well actually. Then had a bit of a wander. Found the fairground and let her have a go on two rides. Then, after a bit of shopping, made our way back to the main ring. This time she enjoyed it. Whether this was because she had done other things, or whether it was because it was the Shetland Pony racing followed by the Horseguards display (all rather more colourful than the jumping) I can't say. We then went to get an ice-cream (hmm, suddenly wondering why you would want to know this, but I shall continue), a few more bits and pieces then back to the ring again. This time to watch the Pony Club competition (and see the Queen, which excited "A" as well). "A" started supporting Wales with me, but when England finally pulled ahead she shifted over to lean against Mummy and started shouting for England. Fickle child (who also started supporting Northern Ireland, and I have no idea why). Then finally the Kings artillary. If you have ever seen this you will know it ends with them firing their guns. Boy, did "A" jump!
