Suzi Stars at The Meadows
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.
