Suzi Stars at The Meadows

News Desk — Sun, 17 Feb 2013 17:07:10 +0000

Competitors at The Meadows Equestrian Centre enjoyed another great day of Flexi Eventing on Saturday when activity was continuous from 9am until almost 4pm.

The star of the dressage was, undoubtedly, Suzi Berry who had placings in all three classes. She claimed the red rosette in the Pre Novice class on Lola, having been separated from second placed Tori Dixon merely by the collective marks.

Vicky Clegg took the honours in the Novice section with her ever reliable, Villa Imp, finishing three percent clear of Barbara Dixon on Shadow. Meantime, top of the leaderboard in the Intermediate class was a delighted Beth Young on her faithful companion, Willie Wee with Suzi Berry half a percent behind on Bolero.

The showjumping arena was a hive of activity with almost 50 entries in the 1m class alone while the water again provided a great schooling opportunity on the cross country run.

Next week, 23 February, sees the final leg in the current series of Flexi Eventing which has been extremely popular. Dressage entries should be made with Dora (07876758979 or dorabeacom@live.co.uk) by 6pm on Wednesday. Showjumping and cross country can be entered on the day. Enquiries to Patricia on 07843590193.

The Meadows Equestrian Centre and Eventing Ireland(NR) are deeply indebted to all helpers: Secretary, course designer, judges, scribes, scorers, starters and arena party – your contribution to a very successful day is very much appreciated.

Nicky and The Spymaster win at The Meadows

News Desk — Mon, 28 Jan 2013 09:35:36 +0000

Once again, The Meadows Equestrian Centre was a hive of activity for the second leg of the Flexi Eventing series. Despite the overnight frost, all arenas were in great shape and all disciplines got underway at the scheduled time. This is proving to be a very popular initiative as it affords competitors freedom of choice and many availed of the discounted rate of £25 for all three disciplines. The water complex is an added bonus and caused plenty of problems on the cross country course where clear rounds were scarce. There were competitors from all corners of the North who felt their trip was very worthwhile with plenty of education to be had all round!

This series of flexi eventing is open to everyone, not just Eventers and, due to popular demand, is being extended for a further two weeks ( up to 23 February)

Dressage tests for this coming Saturday (2nd Feb) are: Pre Novice BE102 (2010), Novice BE112 (2010) and Intermediate BE115 (2011). Entries should be texted (07876758979) or emailed to dorabeacom@live.co.uk by Wednesday.

Flexi Eventing gets underway at The Meadows

News Desk — Sat, 19 Jan 2013 22:04:58 +0000

The week end snow fall did nothing to deter the spirit of competitors attending the first leg of the Flexi Eventing at The Meadows Equestrian Centre. The McCusker family had taken all necessary precautions to ensure that both arenas were in perfect condition although, in the event, there wasn’t even a hint of snow.

Ivor Harper judged the dressage in Arena 1 with Stephen Hewitt acting as his scribe. Meantime, Arena 2 hosted the showjumping where the day started with superb courses built by Aaron McCusker at 70cms and 1m. Competitors were alternated between both heights. The 70cms was later raised to 80cms and then 90cms while the 1m track progressed to 1.10m and 1.20m.

The cross country course was running all day with the water jump being a particular favourite amongst those availing of this schooling opportunity.

This series of Flexi Eventing continues for the next 3 weeks and is open to everyone – dressage must be pre-entered with Dora (07876758979 or dorabeacom@live.co.uk) by the Wednesday of each week with showjumping and cross country being entered on the day.
