This was run by a very big noise in the pony world, Glenda Spooner. Caroline did show reports for Pony Magazine, and her reports were often funny, but perhaps not always tactful. In one, she said one exhibitor's pony, when clipped out, was the colour of cheese. I don't know exactly what she said to make Glenda Spooner ban her, but they did eventually make it up, and GS invited her to tea.Jane Badgerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02628233623713926723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8782167599693788794.post-1096488578117996422010-04-20T14:50:00.527+01:002010-04-20T14:50:00.527+01:00Oh my goodness.

But there are still costume parades fortunately (at my kid's riding stable they have one once a year, and every camp ends with a mini 'decorated pony' event--not costuming so much as just decking them out with fake flowers, wraps etc). These costumes are amazing and weird though. I have to ask, however, in looking back at one picture where you joke about an author named Caroline Akrill who was banned from (Pony, I think...)? I must ask...why? Inquiring minds want to know :)Christina Wilsdonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02472802098557216513noreply@blogger.com
