Horse Week: A great day's jumping at Connell Hill for all age groups

Jumping in the second class of the day saw brother and sister, Robin and Jessica Park, on their ponies Cooper and Lily taking another two lovely double clear rounds.

Robin went on again to take equal first place on his second mount Cooper in the 60s with Katie Surgeoner on her pony Joey.

Joint first place in the 70cm class went to John McKirgan on Dolly and Annabel Manson with Jessie.

A super turnout for the 80cm class saw some nice combinations with most riders going clear.

Well done to Tricia Hughes on Pippy taking a lovely double clear in the 90s and going on to secure another super double clear again in the meter class.

Well done to all competitors who took part.
