Black Isle Show

The Black Isle Show held the light legged horse classes on Wednesday and a record entry of well over 500 horses and ponies pushed the start time from 8.30am to 8.00am. This meant having to leave for the show, with our two ponies, at 4.30am!

The large Caithness contingent won lots of classes and championships at Scotland's second largest agricultural show (after the Royal Highland). This shows how high the standard is in the county.

All the results are published in the Ross-Shire Journal (out this Friday). The main champions from Caithness were;
