The Ecclesville team were pleased with the turnout of competitors for the annual Summer Show on Sunday, July 30. With the persistent inclement summer weather, the decision was taken to run the show in the Indoor Arena!

Raymond Caldwell’s challenging courses resulted in terrific jump-offs with the 75cm Open Class being the most hotly contested! 17 combinations took on the challenge and Sophie Johnston, riding the aptly named ‘Speedy’, claimed the first place rosette.
Many thanks to all the competitors who supported this Summer Show. Also thanks to Raymond Caldwell, Course Builder, assisted by Pamela Caldwell and thanks to Jennifer Leonard, who assisted in the Judges’ box.
