Little trick i was taught for showing in hand is when stood in a line get a bit of grass or a treat in your hand and hold under her nose. This will encourage her to drop her head and give a nice shape to her neck. Also don't be afraid to run quickly it will encourage her to use her knees and lift her tail showing off her strides and the action in her legs. Practice at home so you know the perfect pace to get the best from her. Overall have fun. You and Bonnie will learn from every show what works for you both. She has the potential to go far. I miss showing my ponies. Will enjoy watching you on your journey with her

[@footluceeventing]

Thanks so much for the tips! I need to learn to run better 😂😂

[@kahlan6190]

@@footluceeventing 😂your running was ok, just needs some refining. Teach her to match your run instead of you matching hers. She is still only a baby so plenty of time. Good luck

[@gemmaburke63]

Do not apologise !! You are on your own personal journey with Bonnie, the fact that you’ve taken her on and are doing things that are a big step in her education is so nice to see 🥰

[@christinedavies336]

I agree with Gemma - never apologise for being you! You are a lovely person and an excellent horse woman. I have really enjoyed watching and following you during Lockdown and I will be continuing to do so long after lockdown is done! ~ C ~ N.Wales - GB-uk

[@annejarvis7002]

Loved this. Bonnie was a star, she is captivating to watch, and only 2!! I would love to see her progress with showing - fun to watch. And her loading into the lorry - wow, a little sweetheart. You are doing a fab job with her🙂.

[@aspendewco70]

I am such a sucker for a cute pony!! I would love to see you showing Bonnie more!

[@dekadonut]

I think you should take her out showing as I think it's such good life experience for babies - they see so much that nothing phases them - them I showed my welsh part-bred from about 8mths and she was so easy to break and was completely bombproof - she'd seen so much out showing nothing bothered her

[@NoThankUBeQuiet]

Late but agreed. My horse was shown in hand when she was young and honestly its the best thing anyone did for her, she travels incredibly stayed on the same property for 10 years and then didnt blink when she left. She just like gets off the trailer and looks left looks right puts her head down and says lets go. No tension no excitement nothing. I don't think you have to do well just get out there.

[@philippcheyne9987]

Bonnie was just gorgeous and I loved her sass!!

[@kippen64]

I suspect that the judge had a soft spot for Bonnie.

[@footluceeventing]

I think you’re right 😂

[@JenniferJCouch]

I am a huge fan of Bonnie! Since her first vlog when you picked her out of many. She was beautiful for her first show! Really like the white cotton rope halter ( head collar). Clean and simple, not taking away from her beautiful head. Love how she is more gray/ dappling on the back half. For her first show taking home 2 third place and a fourth isn't too shabby! By the way you looked soooo smart! The hat was the topper! Thank you to Matty (Maddy?) for helping out and giving encouragement. Well done all! Look forward to more of Bonnie in the snow ring. PLUS...it being a surprise event. That was fun!!!! Stay safe! 🐎🐎💖😎

[@footluceeventing]

I’m loving her colour at the moment too! Making the most of it before she turns all grey 🤍 Thanks so much for watching and your lovely comment 😊💙

[@annaabney1420]

She's SO CUTE. A Welsh Mountain Pony Section A was my dream pony as a kid. They look like tiny shaggy Arabs. That other Welshie in the second class was gorgeous.

[@martylesnick2032]

What a fancy pony Bonnie is! Playing with ponies at any age is a must. Got my first horse at 12 yrs old. Got my first miniature horse at 55 yrs old. He was a palomino stud, What fun he was. Susan

What an absolute darling of a pony. I love her so much.🥰🥰😍😍🥰🥰😍😍

[@ericavetsch463]

Loved this! Bonnie is a little star. What a ton of personality packed into that little package. You did a good job for your first in-hand classes together. I look forward to watching your journey!

[@Katy.Lou.K]

Awww!! Your little mare did so well for her first show! You did a good job Lucy, handling the little dragon at the end with her melting down! Can’t wait to see her future showing. Love from California⛰🌲☀️💙

[@footluceeventing]

I thought she did super too!! Thanks for watching 💙

[@littleninja0]

That was a complete cute overload. Well done little Bonnie (and Lucy of course!).

[@louisnealon6811]

Bonnie did jolly well in her trot ups. You may benefit from some cavaletti work though! This was awesome. Very entertaining. Thank you so much for letting us in.

[@annieridesagain3867]

Lovely to see you showing Bonnie . It would be great for her education to show her when you want to .

[@TKDDLJ09]

How you were able to concentrate with all those cute as hell shetlands, i will never know, so damn cute! 😍😍😍

[@janegoldstein8110]

Show again Dear, you did well the pony is a baby. Well done. J

[@bettymann8077]

What a trip down memory lane! I had a Welsh A pony, 11.4 hands for many years. Came to me as a rehome with foot problems and after 2 years of treatment was able to begin driving her. They are such fun equines. Our Jane was a grey like Bonnie and lived to be 32.

[@bookjockey6018]

Obsessed with that show jacket

[@elodieemberey5781]

Same its so lovely

[@brookehartson7319]

Bonnie's first ribbons! I've never seen this kind of showing before so it was fun to see how it worked! My favorite part was definitely Bonnie standing next to the Shire 😂

[@HughLlewellyn]

She is SUCH a little beauty. I was laughing at your optimism about bathing her the day before, and just having to do touchups on show day. My grey Arabian almost never rolled in mud or guck. He preferred dry sandy areas, which I was always grateful for... EXCEPT the day of a show. He would inevitably find the GREENEST, OOZIEST pile of poo on the farm, and roll in it. Covering his entire side with green stains that took massive effort to scrub out. Even when I blanketed him, he would manage to cover his belly, and up his legs and tail with it. EVERY TIME. You were very lucky. You also did fine at the show. More ground work will help. But really, I loved her sass. hahaha

[@chellsmia]

Well done Bonnie🥕🍏🍎 and Lucy

[@nikkib2143]

It was brilliant to see your first in hand with Bonnie, brilliant x.

[@salzaniclegend4129]

Please keep showing her. It was adorable. Everyone can learn with you.

[@pamnewman8392]

I think you both did fantastic! Especially when you consider Bonnie’s age. So fun to watch 🥰

Bonnie did amazing for her first show

I can’t believe I am famous and received a shout out. I have made it 🤩🤩 Well done Bonnie. She is a lot better than mine! Xx

When i saw that you posted another vlog i dropped everything to watch it😂🐴❤️

[@emilym3139]

Well done the both of you !!! Bonnie is so adorable even when she being cheeky nipping and kicking lol she so cute you can’t be mad at her 😄 congratulations to you both ❤️ I think Bonnie did well for being only 2 yes and knowing her background , I say keep working with her and continue showing her

[@Shauna6270]

Awh that’s the best vlog ever especially cause Bonnie was a divil to start with 😂🙈 you’ve done a fantastic job Lucy 🙌🏼💪🏼❤️

[@donnajeffery8267]

Oh Bonnie is such cool cute cucumber of a pony who needs to give her big sister some loading lessons I so loved this and for her first ever show she was extremely well behaved especially for her first ever show and here is to more Bonnie showing vlogs and hopefully you can break her in and find a little jockey she has a great showing career so thank you for taking us along not bad for a pony that was nearly 100% feral when you first got her

[@pf8777]

Excellent Blog, Bonnie is such a cutie I think you definitely should do more showing with her. She is such a Diva🌟. Loved your outfit, especially the hat, definitely giving an equine Indiana Jones vibe😂. Sorry the Sandwich was a let down☹️. Overall Bonnie did so well it's great to see how far she's come, till next time❤️.

[@footluceeventing]

Hahaha Indiana Jones vibe, 100%! Plot twist, the sandwich was actually really good when I put the crisps in 😂

[@janeminwell4395]

Bonnie was a little pro! Then she got tired. Great fun Lucy!

[@taliense]

You guys did so well! On my first show my pony was also two and she was behaving like a young stallion, all rearing and kicking at other ponies. Somehow we managed to stay alive in the two rings we did, despite that she was either having a huge meltdown or freezing in place. Idk how, but she ended up as the young welsh cob reserve champion! 😂

[@davisdesign100]

You and your Welsh did just fine. Keep it up and be proud.

[@daughterandprincess]

She was too cute!

[@sandraback7809]

Bonnie did so well, bless her! Yes, show her more. The more she is exposed to the better she will be and have fun. Practice getting her to stand up. Crinkling a polo packet wrapper works wonders for showing off a good front. I used to show my Sec D in hand and under saddle and always came back with ribbon. Welshies are such fun to watch when you get the handlers who can really run them. You were lovely too😁

[@footluceeventing]

I’ll brush up on my running skills for next time!!

[@sandraback7809]

@@footluceeventing The main thing is not to have footwear with slippery soles. Nothing looks good if you hit the deck at the corner. Besides feeling foolish the grass stains are pain. Lol 😆

Bonniedid great for her 1st show. She will get better the mre you work with her.

[@patriciaarpin-wilson4913]

My first time watching! Bonnie is a little dolly!! She is a cutie with an adorable personality!! If you had fun showing her, then I would continue! You are a delightful presenter! I apologize, I did not get your name!💖🐎💗

Very cute! Nice job, keep showing.

I loved it and would definitely watch another Bonnie show vlog.

[@christinedavies336]

GO FOR IT LUCE & BONNIE! It makes a nice change for you from having to plait and ride - and it's a chance to mix with more local people. I love all the local shows and gymkhanas and really miss them. Bonnie clearly enjoyed herself and is a dream to load and wait in the trailer between classes.

[@law7897]

Well done to you both. You did really well for your first time showing xx

[@gingercox6468]

I have a mini stud who hates bathing. You were very gentle starting with the tail. That’s the way to go. I think the crisp new white halter was a nice touch.

[@OzarkRose]

The Welsh is my favorite type of pony. I raced a half Welsh successfully in barrel racing for years. He and I are now changing over to dressage because he's up there in years now and his joints aren't supple enough for speed events any more.

[@mygirljazzie]

I really enjoyed this vlog Lucy, Bonnie was such a good girl, just getting a bit tired in the last class, considering she has not really done anything l think she did so well & you looked very smart, l do hope you show her again 💜

Thank you 😊

[@tainapereira5809]

Exposing her to everything is a great idea. Maybe take her as a companion with other horses to shows (if possible) to get her use to everything

[@lynette50]

First video of yours that I've watched. I think the 3 classes you entered her in are perfect for her. For her age and experience, and yours with showing, I think you both did fantastic. Definitely show her again, even with her sass she looks stunning. When you see her trot with her tail up, from the dark side of her nose, she looks like a tiny Arabian mare.. Beautiful pony and a great choice of outfit on you. I'm looking forward to watching your previous videos. You have a new subscriber.

You both did so well! Bonnie was angelic compared to when I tried to take my then 2 year old showing 😂 he reared and came down on my arm...luckily behind the judges back so she didn’t see it and despite our many other airs above the ground we managed to come 3rd in a field of much better behaved youngsters 🙈 my arm was quite damaged though not helped by the fact I had to jump my other horse in the working hunter straight after 😂 we’ve not been showing since...
