Horse Week: Success for NI Riding Clubs at Dressage Championships

Despite it being very windy, everyone had a great day.

NI Riding Clubs would like to thank the organisers Sally Hodgkinson and Lesley Wilson, and scorers Sally Hodgkinson, Leona Solan and Laura Parra who done a fabulous job with the scores all day.

Thanks must also go to Sharon Perry for hat tagging, scribes, judges, all of the helpers who they could not do without and anyone else who helped out in any way.

Thanks to Ellie Johnston who was taking photos all day, Kelly Kidd for putting out the dressage boards, John Healy for sorting the arenas, Nigel in the café who kept everyone fed all day and, finally, to Ruth and Scott Logan for the use of their excellent facilities.
