Electrifying day of jumping at Connell Hill
Another busy week at Randalstown venue, with registered and unregistered show jumping
It was another busy week of show jumping at Connell Hill Equestrian, as competitors arrived at the Randalstown venue to take part in the weekly show jumping events, incorporating registered classes on Thursdays, and unaffiliated jumping on Saturdays.
Saturday, May 31 was an electrifying day, as competitors arrived from early morning, queuing up to jump tracks set in the busy outdoor school. This action-packed day kicked off with the smaller classes and pony cross-poles riders, who all received brightly coloured rosettes for taking part. All classes and levels were well represented by copious numbers of horse/pony and rider combinations, building confidence and gaining experience throughout the course of the day.
Well done to everyone who took part.
