Show jumping Show sees some great competition at Comber venue

Sunday, June 8 saw a Show jumping Show being held at Ardnacashel Equestrian, Comber, with classes catering for all levels, from 40cm right up to 1.10m.

Katie Gill and ‘Ballycoskerry Nelson’ were certainly on form, as they did the double, winning both the 1m and 1.10m classes. Emily Jayne McPolin rode ‘Ronnie’ into second place in the 1m class, while Aimee Webb and ‘Nala’ were runners-up in the 1.10m class.
