Fun in the sun for Connell Hill's SJI Spring League

The SJI Spring League continued at Connell Hill Equestrian Centre, Randalstown on Thursday, April 3, with a good turnout across the classes and the metre class seeing a very pleasing number of clear rounds.

Ian Moore was certainly on form with a one-two in the 1.10m class, taking first place on board his own ‘Pinecroft Galaxy’ and second with his own ‘Pinecroft Lamiro’.
