Performance isn't very big in Sweden, at least it is bigger than it was when I began in the hobby :) It's fun to see people discover performance and using their imagination to come up with performance entries.
The show consisted of three divisions, English, Western and other.
There where 3 classes in the English division; Cross country, Showjumping and other English.
First up was the cross country class, which was won by Tomb Raider VS.

It wasn't hard to guess who would win the other English class. Of the 5 entries, I owned... 5... So it was safe to say that I'd win ;) The only question was with what entry.
The judges choice was Silver Echo.

The Champion in the English division went to O'Boy J (shown above Silver Echo) and the Champion reserve went to Newsworthy, who took second place behind O'Boy in the show jumping class:

I have always loved the scenes with cows so the next class was very fun to see. Especially lovely was the winning entry in the class, Jolly Molly with her cutting entry. I love to see a mule in action :)

OtherThe other western class was the last class in the western division. That meant it was time to vote for division champion.
Champion of the division was Flash N Cut and champion reserve went to Jolly Molly.
The last division of the performance show was the other performance division. First up was the arabian halter/costume class which was won by Svarta Hingsten, the black Sham to the left in the picture.

Other show/halter/lead line entries had their own class which Belatucadros, won. The picture is of him winning the Draft champion title but he has his tack on :)

One of my entries, So Much Stolen Hope (Sm. G2 Soñador OF) and Narnia (Sm. G2 TB OF) in a racing scene took first in the speedevents. Unfortunately I have no pictures of the entry.
Show and Circus entries had their own class and it was won by Al Capone, the charming little circuspony :)

Only two entries in the driving class but they were good entries. WW Esther won first place in the class.

The last class consisted of pretty much anything that didn't fit in any of the other classes. We had a coon jump entry, bombproof-training, criollos and indian costumes to name some. The winner of this mixed class was Sahale J with his indian costume.

The winner of the other performance division, the champion, was WW Esther, with Sahale J as champion reserve.
With the last division champions crowned it was time to vote for the Best In Show. Once again it was a hard choice.

O'Boy J claimed the Best In Show title with his show jumping entry. The Best In Show reserve title went to WW Esther with the driving entry.
I got so many new ideas from watching all the entries so hopefully I'll have some new performance entries for the next show :)
