Midweek equestrian latest from Horse & Field
Reports, results and photos from your local equine scene
Hi folks,
It was a great weekend for local equestrian action; even if the weather was rather miserable at times, determined riders got out there and enjoyed themselves, regardless!
Another busy weekend sees this Horse&Field newsletter bringing you the first instalment of results and pictures from a variety of local activities, along with information on forthcoming events.
Over the weekend, Knockagh View held the best of both worlds, with both dressage and show jumping competitions. Connell Hill continued with their Winter show jumping league, which is proving popular. A five-week dressage league got underway at Hagan’s Croft, while Ecclesville kicked off their final show jumping league of the year… Everyone will be keen to get those Super League points! Mossvale continue to hold their well-known pony show jumping on Friday evenings - if you have a pony and you haven’t been yet, it’s worth a visit!
The Horse&Field calendar lists local equine activities and is updated on a daily basis. We are trying to make the calendar as comprehensive as possible, so if you know of any events that aren’t yet listed, please let us know!
Diary dates are being sent through on a regular basis and one to note is the Six Mile Water Riding Club Christmas Show, being held at Laurel View, Templepatrick on Sunday, December 3! Keep a check on the calendar for more like this.
