After last year's partying, I was more prepared for this year's experience but it was definitely all a bit of a learning curve for Lulu.
As there are no classes for Coloured Ryelands at the show, Lulu lent her full backing to the five Broomwell Ryelands which travelled up to Ingliston on Wednesday.
Judging, as always, was on the first day of the show on Thursday and the manager's assistant LB was first into the ring with Bill (Sunday name Hunland Viscount).
Here she is in the ring
And here she is getting the first prize!
But pride of place went to Wallander when he won the championship!
Here's me and Lulu hanging out at the pen while the celebrations started
The following day the manager and LB did manage to see a bit of the show - and they took me and Lulu with them. Here we are setting off.
And guess where the first stop was - the gin bar!
It was party time again at night when all the Ryeland dudes got together again for the now legendary cocktail party in the sheep lines.
Lulu and I joined in - but it turned out a bit traumatic for me when an alarming case of sheep worrying took place!
Yes, that's me in the jaws of a dog called Bear - but fortunately no damage was done!
Here's some more party snaps:
Wally had a lovely chilled out day, meeting his public !
On Sunday we were out and about again round the showground with the manager's friends Pam and Andrew and what an amazing trip it turned out to be.
We saw a van that looked like a heilan' coo.
Then we enjoyed watching a bit of the showjumping
Then Andrew introduced me to the winner of the leading showjumper award at the show - and the next thing I knew and was sitting with James Smith on his magnificent horse! Slightly terrified, I was, but thank you, James, for being such a good sport! (Lulu was very jealous!)
Next trip -Great Yorkshire Show, see ya!
