Sunday 4th August 2019
Our sixth Show Jumping show of the season was a slightly quieter event, but all our competitors were keen to jump those double clear rounds. The Intro class was our first class of the day, and there were only two combinations jumping clear and getting into the jump off. The first of these riders was Dawn Germaney who, with her horse Ballynacarrick Rebel Lad, were the only pair to jump clear in the jump off, and so took the first win of the day.

The next class of the day was the Novice class. The first of our double clears was produced by Denise Calver and her ride, Lord of the Reins. Two further double clears were also produced by Emily Hewitt and once again Dawn Germaney, but neither of them could get close to Denise’s fast time.

The afternoon started off with the Intermediate class, and although entries were good, only two combinations made it through to the jump off. The first of those riders was Anna-Marie Jeffrey and her ride Hello Boss. Unfortunately, they rolled a pole at the skinny fence in the jump off, so finished on clear and four faults. The next rider to make it to the jump off was Red Rose and her horse Lawrence Tom. This partnership also rolled a pole at the skinny fence, but completed on a great time of 35.16 seconds, so took the first victory of the afternoon.
Intermediate
1st Red Rose and Lawrence Town
2nd Anna-Marie Jeffery and Hello Boss
The Small Open followed and it was only the first two riders that made it into the jump off. The first of those riders was Giovanna, who sadly had two fences down in the jump off, to finish on a final score of clear and eight faults. Next was the turn of Gemma Butcher and her wonderful horse, Paddy. This lovely partnership produced the only double clear round, so became our Small Open winners.
