SJ Champion

Ridden, Inhand and ShowJumping competitors were catered for at LegUp Equestrian Northern Racing College Show. 

Originally postponed due to a forecast of high winds in November - yet again we hit upon a windy day, but this time as we seem to of had no luck with the weather for this show, the organisers decided to take their chances and go ahead.  

In the showjumping classes Kirsty Garry and her Welsh Section C Pony Chance headed the Harold Moore ShowJumping Stakes she was closely followed in 2nd place just 1 second slower by Ryan Earnshaw riding Magic.  Kirsty had arrived only just in time having diverted from the M1 due to it being closed to high sided vehicles Kirsty won a fantastic rosette and sash as well as prizes, they also went on to win the Speed Show Jumping Class.

Inhand Champion

The Inhand Championship after some deliberation went to Kayleigh Twigger and her 2 year old Dales pony Strines Dale Samuel they had been earlier winners of the Condition and Best Horse/Pony according to Type. Reserve went to the Coloured traditional Youngstock winner Tophouse Troy shown by Natalie Pritchard. 

The Ridden Championship rounded of a good day for Katie Goulding and her very well behaved Welsh Section C stallion Tawelfan Red Robin.  Katie said he had

Ridden Champion

improved hugely in just a few shows and looks forward to getting him into some HOYS qualifiers this year.  Reserve ridden Champion went to Nicole Wayman and her ‘look at me’ eyecatching cob Hot Stuff. 

Harold Moore makers of yard equipment donated £150 of equipment which was won by Danielle Crookes and Sparky.  Points could be gained across 3 classes Danielle won one of the classes and had placing in the others.  Danielle went home with poly plastic shovels, sweeping brush, shavings rake, fork, and multiple scoops in every size possible.    

Finn Howard & BB

Another competitor whom had a very succesful day winning no less than 3 classes was 8 year old Finn Howard as his mum explained ‘This was Finn’s first ever show on his first pony, BB, (Milford Masterpiece) the pony has lots of experience over the past few years showing and competing with Finn’s second cousin Beth, who came with Finn to help and support him at his first show, and even lent him her showing jacket.  Finn had a great day, was delighted with his rosettes, trophy and prizes, and is raring to go to his next show!  Everyone at the show was so helpful; it was a fantastic family day out. Many thanks to all the organisers.’
