2016 saw this show run once again over three days commencing on Friday, June 3, and finishing with the feature class of the weekend, the TRI Equestrian NI 1.35m Grand Prix carrying a purse of £1000.

This was the biggest weekend in the Meadows Equestrian Centre calendar to date attracting growing numbers annually.

Twenty seven riders took on Ray Buchanan’s track on a sun drenched day. Nine competitors had clear rounds to put them through to the jump off.

It was Jonathan Smyth who took the top spot with Charlton Clio owned by his father Richard. Charlton Clio is a 10 year old bay mare by HHS Br Charlton out of a Clover Hill mare. Second was Hannah Patterson on Douglas W with Stephen Smith on Gloutane Pearl taking third place.

This was the first of a collaboration between the Equine retailer and the Ulster Region.

This show’s reputation and attendances have grown year on year with a record number jumping over the three days.

Other feature classes over the weekend included the Ulster Region Summer Tour classes from 1m to 1.20m, the penultimate leg the TRI Equestrian Spring Pony Series and the second qualifier for Amateurs with the Dingos qualifier.
