The day ended up being cut short with only the horse classes going ahead as the strong winds proved too much to allow the competition to continue into the afternoon.

For those horses that did turn out, they jumped successfully around the course in testing conditions and for Julie Donaghy Simpson and Katie Donnelly their efforts were dually awarded with Julie taking Horse Champion with ‘He’s The Lad’, and Katie taking Reserve Champion with ‘Majestical Grey Fire’.

Hagans Croft would like to thank everyone who supported the third week of their five-week Working Hunter League and NIF qualifiers.
