Joshua scores a Meadows double
Spring/ Summer Horse Shows continue at Lurgan venue
The Spring/ Summer Horse Shows continued at The Meadows Equestrian Centre, Lurgan on Saturday, July 5, with registered classes from 80cm to 1.30m and unregistered jumping from cross-poles up to 1.10m being held.
The highlight of the day was the 1.30m class, where it was a matter of quality over quantity of competitors and Joshua Russell was the clear winner on board his own ‘Ringmoor’, with Amy McCormick riding Stephen McCormick’s ‘GSS Macey Grey’ into second place.
Hello and welcome to Horse&Field. Our aim is to support local, grass roots equestrian enthusiasts and competitors and keep you all informed of what’s happening in the horsey world, as well as covering all things agricultural. If you haven’t already subscribed you can do so below:
Russell and ‘Ringmoor’ had previously secured the win in the 1.20m class, ahead of Rachel Brown on her own ‘Premier Truffle’ in the runner-up position, while Patricia Stewart Greer placed third with Ash-Lee Brown’s ‘Van Dijk’.
In the 1.10m class, Melissa McKee took the win on board Robert McKee’s ‘Diamond Beach Babe’, with Ian Moore on his own ‘Pinecroft Galaxy’ in second and Daryl Somerville on his own ‘Paris Delux’ in third.
Nine successful combinations jumped double clear in the 1m class, with six sharing the spoils in the 90cm and just one jumping clear in the 80cm class.
The unregistered classes gave numerous horses, ponies and riders the opportunity to challenge themselves, with many of the competitors jumping double clear.
This weekend, July 12 and 13, sees a two-day Pony Premier show being held at The Meadows, followed by a midweek horse and pony training show on Wednesday, July 16.
