It was another great day of jumping at Connell Hill, Randalstown on Saturday, as the morning kicked off with the cross-poles class, which is proving very popular with many junior riders - who all went home with a selection of bright and colourful rosettes, kindly sponsored by Doagh Equestrian.

The day unfolded with double clears for many riders. Junior rider Clara Little on ‘Bambi’ impressed with her skilful jumping, as did Megan Rouke, who had multiple double clears on the day with her horses. Well done to everyone who took part and organisers look forward to this weekend as the training shows continue every Saturday morning from 10am.
Classes will start with cross-poles (assisted or unassisted) and all competitors in this class will receive a rosette for taking part. Classes go up to 1.20/1.30m.
Details are available on Connell Hill’s Facebook page and entries are now open and can done online.
Come and join in this weekend - everyone is welcome.
