Red Ram leads Sherbah and Mint Sauce in the Lamb National at the St James's Place Barbury International Eventing and Show on Saturday. We figure the two jockeys on the sheep behind are trying to outdo Andrew Nicholson for stickability. The jockey in front is definitely Burto - even wearing Schockemohle colours.......
Wonder if the sheep are at all nervous about competing close to the CGA Festival of Food? Or close to New Zealanders, come to that................
Thanks to Bob Hoggs Sheep Dogs for video from last year's event
The Lamb National is an arena event that harnesses the natural ability of the Herdwick sheep to jump over obstacles and takes place at Barbury each year
