Albert Lowry, Mags Ross and Holly O’Flynn

On Saturday 21 March 2015 Ardnacashel Equestrian held one of its ever popular Arena Jump Cross Competitions.  The day started at 11 am with a heavily subscribed 60/70 cm class.  The course was as always a testing one for both horse and rider with an excellent mix of show jumps, cross country and working hunter fences with the last five jumps being timed to make the competition more interesting!  Claire Dobbin riding Louie continued their winning streak taking first place, Sarah Bradshaw riding Arabian Knight took second position, third place went to Rhiannon Morgan riding Bowvalley Bash and Alex Russell riding Charlie were fourth.  Best Turned Out went to Hanna Morrow riding Flick.  The 85 cm class was hotly contested and in the Senior Class it was Albert Lowry riding his ever faithful Grey Oh Dear who took the Red Rosette with the only clear round!!

Anna Skelly riding Halle Bear took second place, Joshua Russell riding Lisbane Whiskey continued their winning ways taking third place and Katie Parkinson riding Ginga Ninja who took fourth.  Megan Hegarty and her mount Ruby won the Best Turned Out prize in this class winning a fabulous Ardnacashel Rug.   The 1m class was next on the agenda with Charis Vinaccia riding Derrymac taking first place with the only clear round in this class, second place went to Elaine Gardner on Sam, Caitlin Stuart riding Oscar took third place and Anne Magill riding Stanley finished fourth.
