Amethyst Stud around the Shows; 2013
London Championships; 13-14/10/2013
We had a brilliant weekend at the London Champs show with Pippin, Nacho, Treacle and Heather! The early start- 3 am on Saturday morning- was well worth it! In the main show Pippin and Treacle were 4th in their classes, Nacho was 2nd in his and Heather was 5th in hers. In the Junior show Nacho was 3rd and Pippin 1st out of the Lionheads, and Pippin went on to achieve 4th in the Junior Fancy Challenge! We're very proud of the team, they all did very well.

A very successful day with Twix, Pippin and Treacle, by far the best we have ever done. In the main show poor Twix was disqualified for being over the weight limit, but Treacle won her class and a CC and Pippin also won her class, the CC and the Best of Breed gaining Best u/5 Fancy! But it was in the Junior Show that Pippin really stole the show, achieving Best Junior! Absolutely thrilled with her progress and hope we can continue it!
Edenbridge & Oxted; 26/8/2013
A brilliant but tiring day at a lovely agricultural show, inbetween helping with the stewarding we saw alpacas, cows, pigs and watched a sheep Grand National! In the main show Twix and Maple both came fourth in their classes and Pippin and Treacle won theirs. The class in the Junior show was very big with nine rabbits, but Treacle came sixth, Maple fifth, Twix second and Pippin first! Pippin went on to gain Best Junior Fancy and third Best Junior! Very proud of the buns, and hope that Pippin's COM is the first of many.

Southern Championships; 12/5/2013
RabbitVille's first anniversary of showing rabbits! Tinker and Nala each got a 4* CC, both of them beating the adults in their classes. Tinker also came 2nd in the u/5 fancy challenge (beaten by a stunning blue tan- a worthy winner but irritating all the same!). Twix came second in her class, but the win of the day was Bramble achieving Best Pet! Flopsy also entered the pet show. An amazing way to mark our anniversary, we are very proud of how our buns did today!
