Amazing dressage day for Aware

A spokesperson for the organisers commented: “This fantastic amount was only possible thanks to the contributions of many, through their time, money or sponsorship. Over 160 tests were ridden on the day so thank you to everyone for supporting the Laurel View Charity Show once again.

“Particular mention must go to the Show Sponsors, Doagh Equestrian, Dunamoy Spa, Emma Hobson Equestrian, Equestrian Life NI, Equi-Tog, NAF and Old Mill Saddlery.”

Red rosette winners in June were Sandrine Gunst and Vechtress; Wendy Forsythe and Tifftarney PJ Gold; Emma Wallace and Trooper; Jackie Hanna and Truly; Joanne McSeveney and Donna Emilia, with Kirsty Marsden and Loughmourne Diamond taking the final red of the day.

Thanks to Martina McKinley, Geraldine Lowry, Jacky Reid, Ivor Harper and Angelene Nicholson for judging at the June show.

Many of the June winners were in the prizes again at the Charity Show, with the top spots going to Sandrine Gunst and Vechtress for the Walk/Trot test. Sarah Moore and Paddy won Class 2, while it was Claire Bennett and Easter who came out on top of Class 3. Taking top reward in Class 4 was Kristine Lynch on Tawneybrack Indiana. The Novice class top award was earned by Joanne McSeveney and Donna Emilia. This pairing also went on to win the Open Class.
