Saturday, March 16 saw some great show jumping at Connell Hill Equestrian, Randalstown for their latest Training Show.
The first class of the day was the cross-poles, with double clear rounds for Annabel Manson riding ‘Jessie’ and Elsie Crawford on ‘Patch’. Lily Crawford took the red rosette in the 50cm class and there was a full house of double clears for Annabel Manson on ‘Harry’, Abbie Chambers on ‘Jamie’ and Leah McCord on ‘Rosie’ competing in the 60cm.
