The delay has mainly been due to trying to work out how to connect an old VCR to a new TV; however, now I've managed to do that. Most of the tapes contained old episodes of Eastenders and A Touch of Frost and wildlife programmes (now in the dustbin) but I have unearthed some beauties! Therefore I spent this afternoon watching the 2002 Crabbet Convention from Merrist Wood. There's another tape of a Crabbet Convention (1985, I think?) and also Crabbet Archives! There's a tape of the 4-5 year old mare class at UKIAHS in 1990 which was won by Roger's dam, Khiri and of the in-hand stallions at the National show in 1985 (when it was held at Ascot) which was won by Roger's grandsire, Mikhan of Pulpits, the year he went reserve BNC to Ralvon Elijah. There are some amateur-produced tapes too; for example the lunchtime entertainment at HOCON in 1998, which features myself driving Roger and Hilary driving her mare Dancer's Miracle (Bright Cavalier x Blue Sundancer) with commentary written by our friend Jackie Howe who was, unfortunately, too ill to do the announcing. Other tapes contain other snippets of horses so I'll have to scrutinise them too. With diagrams drawn by my local elecrical retailer(!) I've managed to correctly wire my equipment to record from VHS to DVD [:D]. I'll certainly record the HOCON tape to DVD and (as I'm on a roll with technology now!) I'll try to upload to youtube anything interesting (non-copyright, obviously) if anyone wants to have a look!
