  • Tom Alty, right, commentator and judge of Bartle, Lancashire, with Stan Samuels, 'Showing pigs is a performance because you don't have a halter and rope or bridle, you just have a bat [a stick] and a board. You have to have an empathy between pig and handler, but even the good pigs are not as obedient as you'd like. At one show about 15 years ago I asked my wife, who had never taken an animal in the ring, to walk round an old Large Black sow. It was a placid pig, but suddenly there was a grunt and a rush, and the pig disappeared into the horticultural tent, which housed, among other things, a display of eggs.

  • Before finalists take part in their last exercises at a gymkhana pony competition, these rosettes prizes seen here in close-up detail wait to be claimed by young winners and losers. From the top we see prizes for Reserve Champions then those for 1st prize, then second, third and runners-up at the very bottom. Such accolades are won and lost by fractions of a second but their importance is remembered for years afterwards as young girls desperately practice to improve their equestrian skills. A huge commitment is needed by the girls and their parents who spend great deals of money and time for these treasured prizes which can be won or lost by fractions of seconds or single points.

  • Tom Alty, commentator and judge of Bartle, Lancashire chats about the quality of the pigs with a fellow judge, Stan Samuels. 'Showing pigs is a performance because you don't have a halter and rope or bridle, you just have a bat [a stick] and a board. You have to have an empathy between pig and handler, but even the good pigs are not as obedient as you'd like. At one show about 15 years ago I asked my wife, who had never taken an animal in the ring, to walk round an old Large Black sow. It was a placid pig, but suddenly there was a grunt and a rush, and the pig disappeared into the horticultural tent, which housed, among other things, a display of eggs. My wife has never been to a show since.'

  • Brian Brock, accident damage assessor, pigeon fancier and judge from Leeds.A former president of the National Pigeon Association, Brian Brock has been keeping pigeons since 1946, when his sister bought him a pair from Leeds market for his sixth birthday. Today he owns more than 70. There are hundreds of different kinds of pigeon, though they can be categorised into racing and fancy breeds. Judges assess them on such attributes as eye colour, feather composition, firmness of body and presentation. 'The flat-cap image of pigeon breeding has long gone,' Brock says. 'There are all sorts of people in the pigeon world - managing directors, owners of some of the biggest stores in the country.' He concedes, however, that as a pastime it is declining in popularity, partly because of electronic entertainment. 'I think kids might well be getting out of an Xbox what I used to get out of pigeons; they live by it, just as I lived by my birds. 'For me, the pigeons are a way of closing off from things. I sometimes sit for four or five hours, just watching my birds. I have a relationship with the individual birds, and you learn to read a pigeon's temperament. They are like athletes, you see, they have off days.'
