BP SEAYESS TARTAN MOON (MRS C STEPHENS)
As this show is off the beaten track I'd forgotten what an attractive venue it is, only a stone's throw from the market town centre of Kelso. I was pleased with the entry & turnout & the weather kindly held off for the duration. Overall quality was good, although even though the new PLL blood test is now available I would urge breeders not to sacrifice make, shape & balance on the altar of size. Shorter forelegs, poor shoulders & toplines may help them fit under the measure but does nothing for overall balance & construction.
