Moore doubles up at Connell SJI show
Ian Moore and 'Pinecroft Galaxy' won both 1.10m and 1.20m classes
Last Thursday, September 19 saw another round of SJI horse jumping being held on a bright and sunny day at Connell Hill Equestrian Centre, Randalstown.
Some nice combinations jumped clear in the 80cm, 90cm and 1m classes, but the 1.10m and 1.20m classes both belonged to Ian Moore and his own ‘Pinecroft Galaxy’, who jumped the fastest double clear rounds to win both classes!
