Its a Knockout

It's a Knockout!

On the 11th July, 2005 whilst the horses were peacefully grazing, staff, customers and livery owners at Limebrook could be seen in a very different light!

Not a horse in sight, but plenty of water, apples, balloons, buckets, balls and any number of stranger items were to be found in plenty as the Staff, Customers and Liveries pitched against each other in the Limebrook version of 'It's a Knockout'!

The Staff just scrapped through to win on the final game (the 'Tug of War'), and the Liveries came second. There was certainly a lot of fun being had, and no one taking themselves, or the games, too seriously!

If you would like a DVD of the whole event please email lloyd@limebrook.com. The DVD costs just Ł5 - Ł4 of which goes to the 'Golden Oldies Fund' which buys extras for the retired horses. The film lasts approximately 32 minutes.

Next the 'Wheelbarrow Race' Liveries showing them how to do it!

'Men in Sacks'. Alan tries to work out how to put on the lipstick!

'Pillow Fight' Clive looks good in a wig!

Next the 'Obstacle Race'! Cheered on by the supporters but poor Clare and Kelly get a soaking they did not expect!

They got their own back on Alan though!

Then there was the 'Spacehopper Race' with a lot of cheating going on!

First came 'Walk the Plank' where everyone got very wet!

'Party Games'. Passing a spoon on a string down one set of clothes and up another proved easier for those wearing less!
Sue demostrates what to do with the ball!

'Tug of War'. Staff take the lead due to their superior strength (bulk!)

And the grand race for the finale where the Staff clinch their win!
