A cracker show to round off 2017

This show is going from strength to strength and many of the riders (and ponies) got into the festive spirit and turned out in an array of festive costumes and tinsel! The Fancy Dress parade was an amazing array of tinsel, Santas, and for the first time ever – Batman and his Bat Mobile.

The enthusiastic spectators were entertained with great jump-offs and also a fun novelty class. Seven very competitive pairs took on the popular Run and Ride Pairs competition, which has the runners completing their part of the course riding a hobby horse. The class was eventually won by Tiana-Grace Abbott running and Lucie-Anne Abbott riding the very speedy, Louie.

Lucie-Anne Abbott was back in the ribbons again when she won the 60cm class on Louie. The 80cm first place rosette went to Kamryn McQuade riding her very speedy, Rosie and in the 1m Class Maeve McNally and Mrs Chatterbox picked up the top place.

The Show organisers would like to thank all the competitors for braving the wintery conditions to be at this Christmas Cracker Show. Also, thanks to Raymond Caldwell, assisted Malvern Moore, for the great courses and thanks to Rachel Magee, assisting in the Judges Box.
