Saturday, May 18 saw the final week of Hagans Croft’s Jump Mix Cash Dash take place. Each week, competitors have been turning out and jumping a course of 12 fences, made up of coloured and rustic fences and, in turn, those placed within the top spots have been earning cash rewards!

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:
Everyone was a winner in the cross-poles class this week and, with all three competitors achieving clear rounds, Olivia, Maisie and Adalyn were delighted with their super ponies’ performances!
Julia Kerr and 'Cheerna' rode a strong round within the 50cm class and had first place in their sights. Clear all the way in a time of 29.03 seconds was enough to take the win. Second place was battled out between Lily Henderson and Abbey Stevenson, both competitors finished on a double clear and on exactly the same time - 29.81 seconds! The girls received joint second place rosettes.
It was then on to the 60cm class, where the course saw back poles added to create oxers, with a few extra fillers added throughout the course. Only two competitors jumped double clear, therefore, the speed time was all the more important. Katie-Ann English and 'Lady Eliza' found some extra ways to save time whilst jumping the speed section of the course and it certainly paid off, with a speed time of 25.60 seconds on the clock, there was no denying them first place winnings! Julia Kerr and 'Cheerna' were once again in the ribbons, this time it was second place for this pair. Well done!
As the jumps were raised to 70cm, none of the four competitors within this class were able to achieve a clear round. Therefore, those with an unfortunate pole on the ground, receiving four faults, were placed first and second. First place went to Judith Auten and ‘Kevin’ and second place to Ellie Johnston and 'Lockstown Benedict'.
A total of three double clear rounds were to be seen in the 80cm class, therefore, it all came down to who completed fences nine to 12 in the fastest time. Maisie and 'Harry' took the win with 23.75 seconds, followed by Jessica Byrne and 'Crunchie' with 26.69 seconds on the clock.

Maisie Anderson and 'Harry' also went on to take first place in the 90cm class. What a bright future this new partnership has - organisers hope to see them back for the show jumping league starting on June 1.
