Flexi Eventing Action Galore at the Meadows

| February 11, 2013

Once again Saturday saw a full day of action at The Meadows Equestrian Centre where, in association with Eventing Ireland (NR), they held the latest leg of their Flexi Eventing which is proving very popular. The dressage got underway just before 9am with the first of the two Pre Novice classes which resulted in the impressive ‘newcomer’ combination of Maya Boyle and her lovely bay gelding, Chinook Calibra, taking top place just ahead of Neil Morrison riding Terry Johnston’s mare, Rosie.

The Pre Novice B class was won in fine style by Hannah Blakely and Rough Terrain, who moved up one place from last week and certainly proved that they will be a force to be reckoned with when they begin their Eventing Ireland career in March.

Meantime, the Novice class, which saw victory going to Elaine O’Connor on the home bred Tullymurry Holly, was dominated by the Graham/Moore families who picked up four of the top six placings in a highly competitive class.

Suzanne Hagan repeated last week’s performance in the Intermediate class by claiming 1st and 2nd places.

Showjumping was also busy all day, getting underway ahead of the scheduled start time of 9.30am and continued until after 3pm. The cross country was also a hive of activity with competitors getting a double attempt through the water complex which proved extremely interesting for many of the combinations.

Due to popular demand the current series of Flexi Eventing , which is open to everyone, is being extended until Saturday 23  February with dressage entries requiring to be made with Dora (07876758979 or dorabeacom@live.co.uk) by 6pm on the Wednesday of each week. 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.
