Isobel and Bess do the double at Ecclesville
Show jumping league concludes in exciting finale in Fintona
The Final of the fourth of Ecclesville’s Show jumping Leagues for 2024 was held on Friday, October 4 and it was again very competitive. The qualified competitors were definitely up for the challenge of Raymond Caldwell’s courses, as they twisted and turned to achieve the fastest times possible!
With this being the fourth of the Leagues for 2024 and the fourth opportunity to get points on the Super League Leader Board, the top six in each class also won valuable points. In December 2024, each class, from 60cm through to 1m, a perpetual trophy will be awarded to the rider and horse combination with the most points accumulated over the Leagues.

The many spectators were treated to the obligatory thrills and spills, plus great displays of show jumping, as the competitors had to try to be both careful and speedy to negotiate the courses!
The 60cm class was won by Kim McKevlin riding her lovely pony, ‘Jessie’, who stopped the clock four seconds faster than the rest of the field! The 70cm class went to Amelia Devlin and ‘Mia’, who were on great form and performed some nifty turns to claim the red ribbon.
The 80cm and 90cm classes were won by Isobel Wallace riding her very careful and speedy pony, ‘Bess’. Scarlett Knox and ‘Patrick’ won the 1m class to round off a great evening of competitive show jumping.
The organisers would like to take this opportunity thank all the competitors who supported this very successful league. Also thanks to MGM Equestrian, Castlederg, who very kindly donated some prizes for the League Final. Also sincere thanks to Raymond Caldwell, Course Builder, assisted by Malvern Moore.
The Ecclesville Team now take a short break until their Hallowe’en Show on Sunday, October 27, starting at 10am! The final League for 2024 will commence on Friday, November 8 at 6.15pm sharp.
