It was an exciting race as they entered the Tunnel to the Old Forest where they began to spread out looking for that fast exit out to open ground. They were strung out widely as they neared Adso`s Camp but when they found the Bree road they were clumped so tight it was hard to make out the first 5 places!

They once again began to thin as they entered Bree and the first 2 places could now be identified. But it was a super tight field when we had to decide 7th place! The judges were great and we had a grand time!

The spring Racing Carnival closes with next Saturdays Bree Cup, but Friday will be 3 qualifier races, and more qualifiers on Saturday leading up to the BIGGEST HORSE EVENT EVER!

And they're off!



Some people ran into a bit of trouble in the Old Forest.



Coming out of Bree the pack split into a north group and a south group, and the race to the end was on!



Congratulations to all the winners!

(I can produce screenshots of the riders up to eighth place coming in to the finish line if any want to see them, but they're all on very low quality with raid clutter filling the screen, so not generally fit for presentation.)

This race was real fun! This was my first horse race ever! I am so proud of my beloved pony!
A heartily thank you to everyone who made it possible!

(just for the record: The name of my pony is Rosie, not Posie)
