💚🏆 WE DID IT — OUR VERY FIRST TFSS CHAMPIONSHIP SHOW! 🏆💚

As we drive home tonight, cars absolutely loaded with boxes, banners, rosettes and everything else, we honestly have the happiest hearts and the most grateful minds.

THANK YOU. 💚

Today was the very first TFSS Championship Show, and seeing something that started as an idea become a day filled with horses, ponies, competitors, families, friends, laughter, encouragement and some truly wonderful moments has meant more to us than we can put into words.

To every single competitor who came and supported us — THANK YOU. Whether you went home with a championship, a rosette, a qualification, or simply some lovely memories, you were part of TFSS history today. Congratulations to all of our winners, and a huge well done to everyone who took part. 🏆

To our incredible judges — thank you for giving us your time, your knowledge, your experience and, most importantly, your kindness and encouragement.

To our committee, stewards, runners, secretaries, helpers, volunteers and everyone working behind the scenes — you were AMAZING. Some of you have worked incredibly hard for weeks and months to get us to today, and we will never forget it.

To our wonderful sponsors — without your generosity and belief in what we are trying to create, days like today simply wouldn’t be possible.

To our friends and families who have helped, carried, packed, unpacked, listened, supported and probably wondered at times what on earth we were doing 😂 — thank you for being there.

And a huge thank you to Solihull Riding Club for welcoming us and providing such a fabulous venue. We loved being there so much that we can officially tell you…

📅 TFSS CHAMPIONSHIP SHOW 2027 IS BOOKED! 📅

💚 SATURDAY 18TH SEPTEMBER 2027 💚

Put it in your diaries!

We have received so much lovely feedback today, and we are incredibly grateful for every message and kind word. Our door will always be open. TFSS will always listen, learn and look at how we can improve.

Was everything perfect? Of course not — this was our first Championship Show, and we’ve already come away with lots of lessons, lots of ideas and plenty of little things we want to tweak for next year.

We will be adding even more qualifiers for 2027 wherever we can, and we have so much planned for TFSS.

But tonight, we’re simply going to enjoy this moment.

The cars are full.

We’re tired.

But our hearts are very, very full. 💚

And one final thing…

🌟 THE TFSS KINDNESS AWARDS 🌟

Keep an eye on our pinned post because we’ll be talking much more about these over the coming week. Today wasn’t just about winning — we noticed the kindness, encouragement and sportsmanship happening around us too, and we haven’t forgotten it. 💚

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you to absolutely EVERYONE who played a part today.

Whether you judged a class, stewarded a ring, ran a message, sponsored a prize, helped in the car park, entered one class or ten, brought a child for their first Championship, cheered from the ringside, helped a fellow competitor or simply wished us well…

You helped make our first TFSS Championship Show happen.

And we will never forget that.

💚 THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. 💚

Here’s to TFSS 2027… 🥂🏆🐴

Alex, Craig & the whole TFSS Team
💚 The Friendly Showing Society 💚

I can’t quite believe the TFSS Championship Show is tomorrow!

It’s taken a huge amount of hard work, plenty of stress and around 4,000 WhatsApp messages to bring everything together, but I’m incredibly proud and excited to be part of it.

Tomorrow will also be very personal for me, as our Supreme of Show will be awarded the John Stanley Memorial Trophy in memory of my dad. I know he would have been incredibly proud to see it presented.

It has truly been a team effort, and I’m so grateful to everyone who has helped, supported, volunteered or competed throughout the year.

Good luck to all our competitors. Have a safe journey, enjoy your day and please come and say hello.

Let’s do this, Team TFSS!

Just wanted to share this little photo tonight because this is where it all started for me ❤️

My first ever showing show at Sands Farm, at one of the wonderful Lyn Russell’s shows. I remember being new to it all, probably not having a clue what I was doing 😂 but being surrounded by supportive people and lovely judges who encouraged me.

We all have to start somewhere.

And I suppose looking at this picture tonight makes tomorrow feel even more special.

Those of you who know me know that, whatever I’ve been involved with over the years — showing, filming, social media, making endless videos or generally running around with a camera — I’ve always just loved cheering people on and seeing people do well.

That really is where TFSS came from.

Tomorrow is a pretty big day for us. We know there are lots of shows happening and lots of choices about where to go, so I’m just going to say it — we would genuinely love and appreciate your support.

Come and have a go. Come and enjoy yourself. If it’s your first show, we’ll help you. If you’re nervous, tell us. If you’ve been doing it for years, come and show us how it’s done! ❤️

All we want is to give people a really good day and hopefully help make a few dreams come true along the way.

And on a very personal note, seeing you all there tomorrow would make one of mine come true too.

I’ll be there doing what I love, camera in hand, probably running around like a lunatic trying to capture everyone 😂 and the whole team is genuinely excited to welcome you.

So from the slightly younger me in this photograph, starting out at his first showing show, to where we are today…

Come and support us tomorrow. Be part of it. It would mean more to me than you know. 💚💛

Good luck everyone. Let’s have a bloody lovely day. ❤️

🐾 CAN OUR TFSS Community Page HELP?

With just over a week to go until our TFSS
Championship Show, we’re making one final call for raffle prize donations!

All raffle proceeds will go to Hector's Greyhound Rescue and we’d love to raise as much as we possibly can for them.

Anything goes, vouchers, hampers, bottles, horsey or doggy goodies, beauty treats, experiences or anything else that would make a great prize.

We’re also collecting any extra prizes or goodies for our Championship competitors, because we’d quite like to spoil them too!

Big or small, every donation is hugely appreciated.

Can you help? Drop us a message or comment below. 💚💛
