Packed day of jumping action at the Meadows

A busy day was had by all who attended the Meadows Equestrian as they ran a very successful leg of the the popular Ulster Region Pony Tour sponsored by TRI Equestrian NI on Saturday, April 14.

Using all three arenas at the Meadows Centre, the day ran without any issue with all riders getting to go home before the evening closed in.

In the ‘Tommy French Arena’ the 148 riders started off the day with the 148 90cms, of the 11 starters six combinations claimed double Clears on the day to walk away with some prize money as well as TRI vouchers for the onsite store.

Later in the day, the 148 1.10 athletes put on a display of true horsemanship, with Yiayan Evans from Marsh Kyfe Equestrian Centre recording the fastest round of the day, breaking the finish beam in just over 30 seconds.

Arena 2 was a hive of activity as the 128 athletes took over the arena for the day. Commencing with the 128 50cms in the morning, the youngest of riders had their chance to show off their skills, with multiple double clears throughout the class.

As in recent years the 128 1m was once again a hotly fought contest with some of the best ponies in the region going head to head for the valuable series points, on this occasion it was Matthew Conlon with his father Bernard’s ‘The Silver Legend’ that took the maximum 10 points.

Meanwhile, over in Arena 3, the 138 ponies made good use of the arena on the day. In the 138 1.10m it was Alex Finney who claimed success with Jean Finney’s ‘Coltstown Dun Cruiser’ stopping the clock ahead of Annie Gibson and ‘Ti Chip’.
