Caithness Show

The Caithness Agricultural Show was held in Wick on Friday 17th and Saturday 18th July. The Working Hunter classes were held on Friday afternoon and overall Champion was Alex Henderson on Amaro Rose (see immediately below). It was dry, but very dull and so this made it difficult to get a high shutter speed in order to freeze the action in the jumps. By 6pm it was just too dull, so no pics of the showjumping qualifiers.

Saturday was a total washout with most horses and riders being wet and bedraggled looking. I only got my camera out for the horse championships, when the constant rain turned to a slight drizzle. The overall horse champion was James Munro on O'Brogan (see above) owned by George Harper. The combination were 2nd at the recent Royal Highland Show.

I did not stay for the show supreme championship as I had to leave to take pics at the Halkirk vs Avoch cup match.
