Horse Week: Another enjoyable day at Connell Hill training show

GOOD weather and good competition saw all competitors in top form at Connell Hill on Saturday, April 26 with Sinead Diver and Calida taking first place in the 50cm, Alice Gregg and Alex McFall taking joint first place in the 60s and Lisa Dundee on young horse cricket taking the honours along with Kim Fields on Milo in the 70s.

Moving on to the 80cm class was Lisa Dundee taking another win on her second mount. Along with Eve Lawther and Lindsay Martin on her horse Jackson with all double clears also.

Lindsay Martin went on to jump another super round in the 90 cm class matching the success of Lucca Stubbinton, Zoe Horner, Jenny Campbell and Lisa Dundee partnered with her third ride of the day Connie.

Eve Lindsay took first place in the 1m class. Second went to Victoria Grives on Twister. The same two riders competed again in the 1.10m with Victor Grives taking the red ribbons and the blue going to Eve Lindsay on Tom. Well done to all competitors for taking part!

Connell Hill is an excellent venue to build confidence week by week and is a first class facility to school around on a Saturday morning with classes to suit all levels, with lots of achievement opportunities and confidence building going on.

There’s always a friendly and welcoming atmosphere and is a great start to any weekend for riders, owners and spectators to come along and socialise with a cup of coffee and snack.
