Dressage day draws diva spirit to Knockagh View
Greenisland venue hosts successful dressage competition including 'Best Dressed Diva'
Knockagh View Equestrian Centre, Greenisland extends a big thank you to everyone who supported their Diva Dressage Day - it was lovely to see so many get into the diva spirit!
Ruth said afterwards: “Thank you to our judges, Joan Adrain and Angelina Nicholson; scribes; Ellie Johnston Photography; my amazing helpers, Lisa Rooney and John Healy and Scott in the café.
Hello and welcome to Horse&Field. Our aim is to support local, grass roots equestrian enthusiasts and competitors and keep you all informed of what’s happening in the horsey world, as well as covering all things agricultural. If you haven’t already subscribed you can do so below:
“I just about managed to get my Christmas chip eaten and it was absolutely delicious!” Ruth continued.
“We made a slight mistake this morning and thought it was just first and second [places], who qualified for the Pony Club Spring Festival, but it is the top six, so everyone who competed today has qualified - congratulations!”
A huge well done to the two ‘Best Dressed Diva’ winners, Jessica Simms and Elissa Cowan!
Organisers hope everyone enjoyed their sashes, rosettes and prizes. Don't forget Knockagh View is holding a Christmas Show and Fun Day next Saturday, which will be full of festivities, with some special treats available in the café!
