First league final for Ecclesville’s showjumping leagues

With this being the first of the leagues for 2023 and the first opportunity to get points on the super league leader board, the top six in each class had the chance to win valuable points. In December 2023 each class, from 60cm through to 1m, a perpetual trophy will be awarded to the rider and horse combination with the most points accumulated over the leagues.

The spectators were treated to the obligatory thrills and spills plus great displays of showjumping as the competitors had to try to be both careful and speedy to negotiate the courses.

Lily Kelly and the on form Peanut were the very deserving winners of both the 60cm and 70cm classes. The 80cm red ribbon went a delighted Ann-Rose Garrity riding her lovely pony Louie. The final two classes of the evening, the 90cm and 1m, went to Shauna Murray riding her careful pony, Ritz.

The organisers would like to take this opportunity thank the many competitors who supported this league. Also sincere thanks to Raymond Caldwell, Course Builder, assisted by Malvern Moore and to Jennifer Leonard who helped in the Judges box.
