Coreen Abernethy and Jenny Marshall were in the judges’ seat for this competition and, assisted by their able scribes, left competitors with constructive comments to accompany their scores. Thanks to these ladies and all the other folk that helped run the competition. Not forgetting to express gratitude to all the competitors and their support teams.
The show competition photos are posted on the Equi-Tog website for everyone to look back over.
The third leg of the league on December 8 doubles up as the Charity Dressage Show with all proceeds going to Aware NI.
