Pegus Indoor Eventing League Well Underway
Tuesday 29th January saw the fourth week of indoor eventing league take place at Gransha EC, near Bangor. Each week competitors have had to tackle a more challenging track of fences, expertly designed by Mark Robinson, including technical lines, skinnies and water trays. The same horse and rider combination must compete in 5 out of the 8 weeks to be eligible for the fantastic prizes on offer on the final night. These prizes have been supplied by our sponsors, Pegus Horse Feeds and HorseWorld NI. They include beautifully embroidered rugs, jackets and saddle cloths. On a weekly basis our sponsors have provided gift vouchers to one lucky winner in each of the four classes. The Pegus 70cm and 80cm classes win a voucher which entitles them to a complimentary bag of Pegus feed redeemable at any Thompsons merchant or stockiest. The HorseWorld NI 90cm and 1m class are awarded a voucher to the value of £10 which can be used at the HorseWorld NI stand.
Taking home the gift vouchers this week were Brianny Hamilton, Sophie Donnell, Cara Swanson and Natasha Moore.
The girls dominated the first class of the evening (70cm) with clear rounds being awarded to Stella Black (Prince), Ashley Saunderson (Oreo), Norma Ferguson (Cheeko Time), Alison Simpson (Figaro), Brianny Hamilton (Jumping Dale Jazz), Kate Speers(Wee Rosco) and Jessica Mateer (PJ).
Clear rounds in the 80cm class went to Lauren Johnson (Lilly Allen), Niamh Martin (Taste the Rainbow), Claire Sloan (Cassy), Sophie Donnell (Tiffany) and Nicole Barr on Gino.
Cara Swanson and Willow jumped a foot perfect round in the 90cm class ensuring she went home with a red rosette. Also jumping clear in this class were Gemma McIlwaine (Woody), Gemma Crooks (Mia) and Cerys Howell (Joe from Raphoe).
Junior rider Cerys Howell had a busy evening with four ponies to navigate round the course. Rounding off the night she had Runaway Dolly who jumped a very accurate and clear round. Joining her were Toby Fynn on Joansy and Natasha Moore on Murphy.
