It was another busy weekend at Connell Hill, Randalstown for their Training Show on Saturday, as classes kicked off with the cross-poles riders, all taking home very nice rosettes, kindly sponsored by Doagh Equestrian.
The 60cm and 70cm classes proved very popular, with Ella Blair on ‘Ronan’ jumping lovely double clears in both classes, followed very closely by Samantha Hamilton on ‘Zuri’, Zeke Baillie on ‘Mosstown Nico’ and Donna Barron on ‘Dreamer’.

Moving up to the 80cm class saw some great jumping, with many double clear rounds. The 90cm proved a very strong class of riders, with double clear rounds all the way. Joint first place in the metre class went to Samantha Talbot on ‘Enda’ and Tricia on ‘Pippa’. The 1.10m class was won by Ellie Moore on ‘Regan’. Well done to everyone who took part on the day.
Connell Hill’s Training Shows continue this Saturday, June 22 at 10am. There are classes to suit everyone from cross-poles (assisted / unassisted) up to 1.20m/1.30m and entries are taken on the day.
