Mayor of Rushmoor visits the Forces Equine Games

I attended the Forces Equine Dog Show at Wellington Riding Stables, Heckfield Hook, Hampshire on Sunday the 5th of May 2013. unfortunately, I had to attend the event by myself, as the Mayoress was in Frimley Park Hospital with an infection.

I had the chance to judge the dogs and bitches in a number of categories. The one which was the most touching was the rescued dogs category where the dogs were with new owners following being rescued (often from very difficult circumstances) and it was wonderful to see the so well-adjusted as part of their new family.

I also loved the best fancy dressed dog category, and the winner was a Sherlock Holmes dog with pipe in Deer Stalker and Inverness Cape.
