                      | This year's 
						Heacham Horse Show was, unfortunately, not blessed with 
						the glorious weather of last year.  In true show 
						biz tradition, the show went on regardless.  
						Malcolm braved the deluge of pre-lunch rain (best 
						illustrated by the first photographs above!). |

                      |  | Malcolm 
						watched a number of brave souls participating in the 
						jumping under what have been described as "appalling 
						conditions".  They were at least all in the same 
						boat!! |  |

                      | By the time I 
						got to the field things were considerably drier, albeit 
						muddy.  The afternoon competitors were therefore 
						able to carry on under more civilised conditions.  
						I had a brief opportunity to chat with commentator, 
						Robert Frost and learned that the event had participants 
						from many locations outside of Heacham. |

                      |  | Helena Beamis (16), with the rosette (top right) for 
						youngest horse/pony Class, has 
						been riding for approx 12 years
 and helps out at Park 
						Farm Riding Centre at weekends.
 In last year's Heacham Horse Show, Helena was placed 2nd 
						in the veteran horse class and came 3rd in the coloured 
						showing class.
