After Bob’s absence from the show ring this year this recent addition has the X Factor to challenge all next year. Some say he has maybe lost his mind but I know he lost it years ago.

The weather may have been kind but the competition was fierce on the Thursday morning as our yearling c**t Dillars Robbie by Eskechraggan Ernest was on 🔥 making his appearance back in the ring.

Having been greatly admired out with the ring he went on to shine in it winning a super strong yearling c**t class, standing entire champion then overall reserve male champion. 🏆🏆

This strapping young lad bred in Northern Ireland by James Irwin ( Barbara Irwin ) has a cracking future ahead of him and certainly will be worth the watching 💪🏻

We must also congratulation all our clients and customers who attended, there’s no better feeling than hearing the Dillars breeding ring around the ring at parade time👌, top job team!

Standing female champion and reserve supreme was the winner of the 2 year old class Boat Lady Sophie from the Jackson Family. This cracking Dillars Ollie bred filly was on her first outing to the show ring.

Also making his first appearance in the show ring was Jim Rochead's c**t foal, the first ever foal by Dillars Caledonia. This boy will be one to watch. 🥰 His mother Malcolmwood Isla won the broodmare class and stood reserve female champion.

Winning the yearling class was a Dillars Ollie filly bred and exhibited by Jimmy Steel of Jackton Clydesdales. Standing second in the 2 year old filly class was Kirsty Donalds Dillars bred Capperhill Gigha.

It was a different name ringing round the Ring at Saturdays Lesmahagow show! 💪🏻Dillars Envoy! 💪🏻Sire of both the male and female champion.

Female Champion and overall champion was a cracking yearling filly Ryecroft Millie from The McNae family who was winner of a 5 strong yearling filly class. (Check out the video in the comments) Standing second to the champion was Allan Craig’s yearling filly Boat Lady Crystal who also collected reserve female champion.

In the male section it was our boy 💙Dillars Flashman 💙who claimed top spot. This laid back cool character took the day at his local show in his stride just like his father did a few years previous. Taking reserve spot was Lorna Hume with her two year old Fordlehill Marvel.

Winning the foal class in her first outing was Boat Lady Adele for team Jackson, this little lady will be one to watch in the future 🔥
