Hatgate
While the Eilberg Hatgate saga was unfolding in the main arena, in the other arena luckily un noticed by most lady Suckley went through the most embarrassing incident of her own .
The whole show ground was buzzing with excitement as Mr Eilberg junior was blatantly breaking the rules , people were texting and twittering, consulting lawyers and wondering where is Winnie when needed ,” she is on the forum catching petty criminals “ someone whispered while looking over his shoulder , “what is she doing there ? when a real felon is flaunting rules in front of all of the judges and public ” was the reply, “look at the V shape of his fingers under the hat - that’s a real NNNAAAAAAAAA!!!! To the establishment”.
Little did they know that it was all pre planed between the BD marketing DEPARTMENT and the Eilbergs , a ploy to popularise our sport . Nothing appeals to the masses more than a sport shrouded with scandals AND RULES FLAUNTING . Give BD their dues “they know their onions” as they say in Yorkshire and as any good politician know an open belated apology when things quietened down extracts few more miles out of the issue”.
So while all that was happening, in the arena next to the main one, Lady Suckley was un ceremonially dislodged off her horse during the “HALT ONLY TEST” the horse moved and Lady suckley slipped out of the saddle ripping her Cavalini two sizes too tight breeches as we say “from the front belt to rear belt “ exposing to the world some vegetation of her “Vajazled “area .
Laying on the dirt in a most undignified position, with judges and paramedics looking down at her Lady Suckley held her hands up to her head and said “Thank god I did not hit my head ! is the HAT OK ?”
The senior paramedic reaction was “Madam I think you should lower your hand there are other parts of your body that needs more urgent attention than your hat “
Lady Suckley gave him one of her looks and replied “ YOU silly boy ! THIS is a brand new Uvex bling covered hat ,USED ONLY ONCE !!!! the parts you are worried about are 52 years old and USED ,,,,,,,,,,,”
