Royal Highland Show 2018! Highlands and Shetlands Ahoy!

Visiting the stables is always my favourite part of the show as it's really the only time you get to physically interact with the horses, and as I don't have any other horse time these days, it's a precious resource!

Royal Highland Show 2018! - A Parade of Ponies (and Clydesdales :P)

By this time in the day we were both getting pretty hungry, and once Magda spotted a stand selling pizzas made to order, our fate was sealed. There was a really interesting selection to choose from (I was very tempted with the black pudding and apple!) but we decided to share a venison pepperoni one as, at a whopping £9 per tiny pizza, it was already pretty pricey! It was delicious, but half as small and twice as expensive as I'd have liked!

Royal Highland Show 2017 - #9 Ponies, Ponies, Ponies! (and Clydesdales)

After the coos, we moved on to the big stable block at the back where all the Highlands and Shetlands are housed during the show. Unfortunately the Welshies and other pony breeds seem to be kept away from public view which is a real shame.

On the way there we spotted a few decidedly un-ponylike creatures as some of the Clydesdales were readied for the harness turnout classes later on.
