The 80cm and the 90cm classes saw some great horse and rider combinations, with two lovely double clear rounds from Abbie Chambers on ‘Jimmy’ in both classes. Kim Fields rode ‘Milo’ to take a close second place in the 80cm class. Tamara Marshall on ‘Mickey Cote’, Jamie Lee Marks on ‘Question Mark’, Ryan Hunter on ‘Candy’, Valerie Penny on ‘Oskar’ and Julie Fieldon on ‘Cadbury’ all impressed with their super double clear rounds in the 90cm class.
Well done to Irene McGookin on ‘Jasper’ and Megan Rouke on ‘Pearl’, who topped the metre class with joint first place.
Edward Little rode ‘Misty’ into the top spot in the 1.10m, followed closely by Sian Parkes on ‘Albert’.
Very well done to all competitors who took part.
There will be no training show this Saturday at Connell Hill, however, they will resume again on the first Saturday of the month, July 6, starting at 10am with classes from cross-poles up to 1.30m and everyone is very welcome.
Connell Hill is an excellent venue and first class facility to school round on a Saturday morning, with jumping classes to suit all levels. There is always a friendly atmosphere. Entries are taken on the day.
