Piece of Cake for ‘Naomi and Molly at Connell Hill
As we enter the festive season ‘Tis the Season To Be Jolly’ at Connell Hill, your No. 1 Venue, competitors arrived to jump at the friendly family orientated Training Show on Friday night. This show commenced with the X Poles which saw young up and coming stars of the future Max McDonnell on ‘Cocky’ and Freya Harris on ‘Adonis’ jumping clears. The course was then changed for the 50 cm class which saw Elle McDonnell on ‘Sunny’ and Dee Harris on ‘Adonis’ jump super clear rounds. As the competition grew for the 60 cm class Dee Harris on ‘Archie’ flew over the course in style jumping a double clear. It was a ‘piece of cake’ jumping double clear in the 70 cm class for Naomi McCavanna on ‘Molly’ as they carefully executed the course with a double clear. It proved a more technical course as the fences were raised for the 80 cm class which saw Richard Hutchinson on ‘Laurelhill OMG’, Lindsey Cameron on ‘Indie’ and Alanna Dunlop on ‘Gemma SC’ judge their strides to jump double clears. It was red rosettes in the 90 cm and 1.0 m classes for Alix Robinson on her super horse ‘Tia Maria’ as they very successfully jumped double clears.
Training Show for Horses and Ponies continue on Friday nights, at 6.30 pm, X Poles – 1.10 m classes, where help, advice and guidance is freely given.
