Sparkling performance from Joseph and All Carrick Diamond
Iona Kane and Bobilicious
THE North West Working Hunter Association recently held its first working hunter show of 2013 at the RDA, Coleraine.
The show commenced at 9.30am with bright and breezy pony combinations ready for the off.
With the course inspected, the parents as always seemed more apprehensive than the children who, for the most part, were just excited about jumping their ponies.
All combinations were turned out to perfection, though its doubtful everyone was just as smart after the morning’s hard work.
All classes were rewarded with prizes in kind up to and including fourth place according to the class numbers.
The first prize was a bag of Pegus feed courtesy of Thompsons feeds. Organisers are grateful for the continued support of both Thompsons Feeds and Colin Richmond (Richmond Store, Ballyrashane Road, Coleraine) for facilitating this.
The NWWHA committee are appreciative of the extra helpers who gave so freely of their time, especially Julie Boyd, Lyndon MacCaw, Ian Evans, Rosie Alcorn, Lucy Lamont, Margaret Jane, Jackie and Sylvia McLean. Thanks also to judges Kathryn Marshall (ponies) and Michael Lewis (horses).
Again because of time restraints and class sizes only clear rounds were able to return for second phase judging, disappointing but necessary in order to get through the numbers.
A real good day all round, the show ran smoothly and the slightly earlier start time made such a difference.
The next NWWHA show will be on Sunday 3rd February at the RDA, Coleraine.
