Sitting in the saddle judging allowed me to see quite a few great performances. One of the best was not in the saddle though it was on one of the steep courses of Kilkenny. CH Daddy’s Little Boy Butch just absolutely tore it apart, his bell was everywhere and when he stopped it was deadly silent. There was so much anticipation walking in on him standing so tall and looking absolutely fantastic. There was nothing in my eyes or in my mind that could touch him. CH Straight Forward was another that blew me away everytime I saw her run.
