Abbie and 'Lets Go Lucy' in winning form at Hagans Croft
Sun shines on competitors at second of March dressage days
Saturday, March 8 saw the second leg of Hagans Croft’s planned three weeks of dressage days in March. With blue skies and wall to wall sunshine, the day started out with the Intro test and a British Riding Club walk, trot test.
It was a winning day for Abbie Johnston and 'Lets Go Lucy', who were strides ahead in the Intro class. The pair saluted to a score of 68.57% with their score sheet littered with scores of '7' and lovely comments from the judge - 'lovely horse with correct paces, clear rhythm throughout'. Well done Abbie, very well deserved.
The Newcomers class was small in entries, but talent was aplenty. With a winning score of 71.25%, Sarah Sloan and 'Moneyquid Black' achieved the highest score on the day and this is the second week in a row that this pair have taken the win, therefore they are becoming the pair to beat.
The competition started to hot up in the Prelim test with a total of 11 competitors turning down the centre line towards judge Coreen Abernethy. 68% was the winning score and that came from Sharon Maughan and 'As You Wish Cavalux' with encouraging comments from the judge: 'A nicely presented test with correct forward paces. Well done'.
Jane Allen Collins and 'Lougherne Atlanta' took the win in the Novice class, with her horse’s 'quality paces and energy' achieving a score of 70.93%, while Jazmin Vollands and 'Mo Chara Nua' took the win in the Medium class with 66.52%. Well done girls!
