Penultimate Week of Ards Show Jumping
Week four of the Club’e show jumping once again saw keen competition over a challenging course. Kaitlin and Princess Peachy flew round to take first place in the
70 – 80 cms, using an inspired turn between fences 2 and 3 to good advantage. this was also the chosen route for Messina and Sky who took first place in the
90 cms – 1m class.
Next Wednesday, 26th June is the final night of competition and we look forward to seeing our competitors out in force. In addition to the usual prize fund, we will have the pleasure of presenting the new trophies for the highest placed rider in each class. The trophies have kindly been provided by the Robinson family and we are very grateful to them for their continued suport of the Club.

Each Club should have received their entry form and Fran is waiting to hear from you at the contact details provided. Entries close Thursday, 27th June.
