Impressive tests ridden as Lusk's dressage series continues

Mist and drizzle replaced by sunshine as the day proceeded

Week two of the dressage at Lusk’s started promptly at 10am, under the direction of Fran Warden, who takes pride that competitions at Lusk’s run to the scheduled time.

As was the case in week one, the mist and drizzle showed their ugly heads, but by noon, the sun was shining.

It was lovely to see Jack Steele with back-to-back wins in the walk-trot class. For the fairer sex, Grace Jackson with her lovely pony ‘Mario’ stole the show in a newcomers class, with both style and elegance, organisers look forward to seeing more of this combination.

Another pair who caught the eye was Chloe Rooney on ‘Markie’, who won the prelim class 3, which looked like an exciting display of dressage.

Let’s see what week three brings… Entries as usual to Sarah on 07840 117132.
