With the Super League well underway the top six in each class also won valuable points, as at the end of 2018, a perpetual trophy will be awarded to rider and horse combination with the most points in each class from 60cm through to 1.10cm.

The many spectators were treated to great displays of showjumping as the competitors had to be both careful and speedy to negotiate Raymond Caldwell’s challenging courses.

Omagh Equestrian and Countrywear sponsored the turnout prizes for the final, which was an added bonus for the riders and grooms.

Most Popular

The 60cm class was won by the very competitive Cara Garrity and Sweetie Pie. The winner of the 70cm class was Emma Quigley on the very speedy, Perfect Promise.

The 80cm and 90cm classes were dominated by the talented, Jordana Mitchell and her lovely pony, Hillrose.

The outright winner of both the 1m and 1.10m was the very consistent Amy Noble riding Storm.

The Super League for 2018 is looking very interesting after four leagues, with several new combinations in the mix and the leaderboard has again been given a good shake up.

Going into the final league for 2018, Sarah-Jane Sloane and Lilley still lead the 60cm class. The very consistent Lucie-Ann Abbott and Louie lead both the 70cm and 80cm classes. Jordana Mitchell and Hillrose lead the 90cm class. There is no outright leader in both the 1m and 1.10 classes, so still all to play for.

The classes are all very competitive and all can change on the final night of league five on 6 December when the Super League Cups and Sashes will be awarded.

The organisers would like to take this opportunity thank all the competitors who supported this league. Also sincere thanks to Raymond Caldwell, course builder, assisted by Malvern Moore; to Rachel Parker who assisted in the judge’s box and to Omagh Equestrian and Countrywear for sponsoring the turnout prizes.
