A magical day of jumping at Connell Hill Hallowe’en Show
Young riders very happy with their rosettes, prizes and gift vouchers
Connell Hill, Randalstown, hosted a Hallowe’en Training Show on Saturday, October 28 and it proved to be a magical day!
The cross-poles class proved as popular as ever, kicking off with Thomas and Amelia Forbes jumping well with ‘Sparky’ and ‘BoBo’ respectively, hotly contested by Lily Crawford on ‘Candy Pops’ and Megan Riddell riding ‘Sparky’. Amongst other junior riders were Jodie McKay on ‘Orlando’ and sister Mia McKay on ‘Bertie’.

It was a sparkling finish for Rhonda Carson riding ‘Tilly’ and competing against Jodie Creighton on ‘Phantom’ for joint first place in the 1.20m class!
