Even after the unseasonal deluge of rain experienced last Friday, Arenas 1 and 2 at the Meadows Equestrian Centre, Lurgan were bustling, as their weekly show jumping competitions took place on Saturday, July 15.
Arena 1 saw the return of the SJI National Summer Series classes, with numerous entries taking to the arena throughout the day for their chance to win the beautiful rugs and rosettes on offer. In the 1.20m class, Emma Jackson on board Sharon Eadie’s ‘Vanderbitt’ held off the competition to take the top spot in a class of 18 starters; whereas, in the 1.30m class, Emma and the ‘Beachball’ sired grey stallion faced stiffer competition, with Jonathan Smyth returning from his recent international travels, however ‘Vanderbitt’ once again came out the victor to take home his second SJI rug of the day!

Meanwhile, over in Arena 2, the Meadows’ Cash Back Unregistered jumping continued to prove ever-popular! In the smaller timed classes, the top placings went to Ava Wickie in the 70cm with her lovely pony ‘Cookie Monster’ and the 80cm went to regular campaigner Gaby Kirk and the ever-consistent ‘Roly’.
