Double win for Rosie and 'Andy' at Hagans Croft
Week three of dressage league sees close placings at Bailiesmills venue
Saturday, July 19, saw the halfway point of Hagans Croft’s five-week dressage league, with competitors turning down the centre line towards judge Jacky Reid. Starting off the day with a British Dressage (BD) Intro test it was great to see some horses and riders giving their first ever dressage test a go. Not much separated first and second placings, with first place awarded to Eleanor Wheeler and 'Yogi Bear' with 68.91% and second place to Casey Froemling and 'Ralphi' with 68.48%.
In the Newcomers Prelim class, for the third week in a row, it was first place for Sofia Taylor and 'Greenfield Apache' who achieved the highest score of the day - 72%. Well done!
It was a winning day for Rosie Paterson and 'Andy' who took home first place in both the short arena and long arena Prelim classes. Barbara McMurray and 'Bananaman' placed first in the Novice short arena class.
