When Max was 2 years old Natalie took him to his very first show.
Poor little chap was loaded on the lorry the day before the show and taken to a friend's yard to be bathed, then put back on the lorry again.
In the morning he was plaited and loaded again.
At the show he was a little angel; the one thing that startled him was seeing people riding, but he soon took it all in his stride.
Much to our delight he behaved himself in the ring and didn't try to tank off, all in all an excellent day.
