Keighley Show #1
It was a fine, dry day so I decided on a whim to go to Keighley Show, the annual agricultural show. As these things go, it's a relatively small affair but in many ways that makes it nicer, as you can get closer to the action and see more of it.
When I arrived, there were show jumping classes in the main ring.
Shetland ponies were being judged. I rather liked this one with the blonde mane. These little ponies all have the cutest fat tummies!
In another ring, carriage driving classes were underway.
The lady in the black hat and gloves (on the left below) is the judge. I rather like the tradition that the officials dress up for the occasion - and there's always a lot of countrywear about: checked shirts, moleskin trousers, fleece gilets. Me... I just wore my jeans and a top, not very 'country' or dressed up!
