Competitors jump to it at Co Londonderry Show

Yet again the date for Co Londonderry Show clashed with many equestrian events throughout Ulster and further afield. This meant entries in the show jumping section were low in many events yet this did not affect the standard of jumping with many good competitive classes resulting.

The ground due to the rain through the week was in perfect condition and those who did not come because they thought it would be too hard were the losers.

A spokesperson said: “I am extremely grateful to all those who came to support the show, especially as unfortunately agricultural shows where jumping is in a field are a dying breed. Yet they are the events where there are spectators, not associated with horse owners, watching and being appreciative of what they see.

“My thanks go to all the sponsors, without whom the show could not continue and of course to my many equestrian friends who came on board on the day as volunteers. To all the judges, Desna Lewis who was so welcoming to our younger pony competitors, Lawrence Patterson who had an extremely long day with all the Hunter classes and then working Hunter and to John Stewart, judge for the Family pony and Horse classes, thank you.

“A special thanks to Lee Johnston, who having been ride judge for the Clydesdales earlier in the day, agreed at the last minute to do ride judge for the ridden Hunters. Competitors who come to the show do like to have their animals ridden in the Hunter classes as a forerunner to the Dublin Show and Lee filled this gap admirably.

“To the many Judges in the show jumping sections who know their job so well it makes my job in collating everything much easier.

“Finally many thanks to Duncan and John McMonagle who will always have the field looking well for the show day.”
