March Best Turned Out Class Winner Announced

Erin Shaw's Monsoon is the winner of this Month's Absorbine Sponsored www.photo-shows.co.uk (PSO) Best Turned Out Class In the March Best Turned Out Class, the standard was exceptionally high. The judges had a really tough job to pick the winner out of an astounding 28 entries. Online Photo-Shows (PSO)are clearly going from strength to strength. Although its not hard to see why. The classes are well organised, the prizes are great and there are constant news updates for competitors on the PSO Facebook page. Monsoon looked beautifully turned out and is a worthy winner of a huge PSO rosette and bottle of SuperPoo from Absorbine. Erin, a Tactical Records Officer for Virgin Atlantic has owned the 7 year old 14.3hh Monsoon for nearly five years. Monsoon is a part-bred New Forest pony and it is pure chance that Erin came to own her. Erin says "I wasn't really looking for a horse, but I was browsing Horsequest one day, and there was Monsoon's advert, so I emailed for more information - the more pictures I saw, the more I liked her, so two days later I made the 2 hour journey to see her after work as I was worried that someone might get there before me!" Erin is very glad to have found PSO as Monsoon injured her tendon last September and it has taken a long time for her to recover, it looks as though she will miss most of the summer shows. So PSO is great as it still allows them to compete. Erin hopes to be back competing at showing and dressage once Monsoon is back to full fitness. Last season before Monsoon injured her tendon, they did a couple of County Shows and also had some good scores at Prelim Dressage. As soon as Monsoon is better the plan is to pick up where they left off, and aim for some HOYS qualifiers next year and move up a level in dressage.


Erin says "Monsoon is happiest when covered in mud and poo! So it generally takes 2 shampoos to get her show clean". Hopefully the bottle of SuperPoo will come in handy! Erin also uses Absorbine's ShowSheen and RefreshMint which she uses pretty much daily in the summer. No wonder Monsoon looks so lovely when she goes to a show. Good luck to Erin and Monsoon for PSO and hope the dressage and showing goes well too.
