Horse Week: Rachel and AJ claim two first place rosettes at Hagans Croft's Summer Blow Out

With the day starting off with the cross-pole class, all three competitors were delighted as they came away with a rosette and ice cream for all their efforts.

Rachel Stranney and ‘AJ’ had a fantastic run out as the pair not only won the 50cm class, but also went onto win the 60cm class as well.

Three competitors finished on a clear score of 90 points within the 70cm accumulator class so it was down to who jumped around the course within the fastest time and that was Courtney Lynch and ‘Take Two’. Courtney was delighted with her colourful rainbow first place rosette along with her first place prize of a beautiful lead rope.

Grace Harney and ‘Willow’ were the only combination to finish on a clear score of 90 points within the 80cm accumulator class, therefore, there was no doubt they were claiming the top spot.

Onto the last two classes on the day where Charley Hanna and Eva McDermott battled it out for the top spot in the 90cm class and, with Charley and ‘Polly’ finishing on a double clear in a time of 21.38 seconds, they claimed first place on the day.

Eva McDermott and ‘Jumpingale Joy’ went on to win the 1m class. Well done!
