Report: Dec 30th Xmas Show Report

With Ridden, Inhand and SJ classes there was something for just about everyone at this show.  Show Report and Results 1st to 3rd Below.  Show Jumpers were out in force for the Xmas Show.  With no less than 25 entries in the Clearround, we had to enforce the strict 10.45am entry closure as the entries just kept coming.  Many riders brought along their young horses for their first ever outings.

Rhiannon Pedley & Alice Small Open Horse Winners

Both the Small Open and Novice classes had enough entries to split the results into horses and ponies.   With 20 starters, the Small Open Horse section was a win for LegUp regular Rhiannon Pedley and Alice clear in the fastest overall time of 20.35seconds.  The Pony Section was a win for Ellie Womersley and Jet clear in 22.82seconds.

The Speed Class ended up with 4 riders posting Clear.  The Winner went to another LegUp Regular Kirsty Garry riding Chance perfoming some tight turn backs to fences.  2nd place this time went to Small Open Winner Rhiannon Pedley with the ever consistant and efficient Alice.  3rd Place went to Pony Small Open Winner Ellie Womersley and Jet and 4th Place to Iain Monk riding Rainbow Chaiser. 

Jumping in the 2 phase format helped us to get through the classes quickly and saved riders going backwards and forwards to the collecting ring especially as it started to rain.  Inhand entries were lower than normal though it helped us to gain back time to start the ridden classes only slighty behind time.  

Some of the younger riders did very well in the showing classes.  6 year old Jessica Davies riding her Welsh A pony Bumble at her first ever show off lead rein was the delighted winner of the Walk Trot 13hh and under showing class they also won another 1st rosette in the Fancy Dress class.    

Have a Go Showing was a win for 10 year old Emily Pearson with her new pony Chester they had a great day, jumping clear in the Novice Show Jumping to win 4th place and coming 2nd in the Riding Club Horse Pony. 

8 year old Selby rider Kieran Heslop and Winton Tiger Eye finished off the day with a win in the Riding Club Horse/Pony after picking up 2 second places in earlier classes.  Mounted on the smallest pony he was one of only 2 riders to jump the fence first time clear.  

Next Show will now be on 22nd January this time at Northern Racing College Doncaster. Followed the week after (29th Jan) Winter Woollies Fun Show back at Bromley Farm.

Many thanks to the many helper whom helped to run this show including Anne, Sarah, Bridget, Jodie, Mandy, Joy and Sue whom helped the day to go smoothly.
