Royal Highland Show 2016 - #7 - The Most Majestic Floof!

I was going to include this particular pony in the last post but felt he deserved a thread of his own!

After seeing him strut his stuff in the warmup, we knew we had to watch him jump in the class, so we waited, and waited and waited, all the while standing as there were no available seats anywhere. We must have been waiting at least an hour as there was no timetable to let us know when each horse would be competing, but finally he trotted on in and we followed his every move, cameras at the ready. 

We weren't disappointed.

He was so focused on the fences and charged towards them all, ignoring all the scary and spooky things the others had objected to.

Then it happened.

The most majestic floofy mane I've ever seen in my life.

Every time he jumped, the audience positively cooed, he was just so entertaining to watch!
