Flexi Eventing ‘Takes Off’ at The Meadows
The current series of Flexi Eventing, run by Eventing Ireland (NR), in association with The Meadows Equestrian Centre, got off to a super start on Saturday with large entries in all three disciplines. The weather turned rather nasty by the afternoon but competitors braved the elements to continue with the dressage, showjumping and cross country.
In the dressage, the Intro winner was Sarah Hall with Rocky followed by a new combination of Maya Boyle and Topaz while Scorer, Ronnie Beggs, had to examine the collective marks before awarding the red rosette in the Pre Novice Section. This went to Ella Boyle and Roo who finished on an equal score to Anna Kelly, riding Johnny. This very competitive class was dominated by young riders which augurs very well for our up-coming Eventing Season.
Meantime, victory in the Novice class went to Daniel Brown on his mother’s Euro Jackpot who finished one point clear of Elaine O’Connor and her home-bred, Tullymurry Holly.
The cross country was well supported with fences giving many of the combinations plenty to think about. The water, in particular, had its fair share of ‘double takes’ but provided a very valuable schooling opportunity at this stage of the year.
The Flexi Eventing continues every Saturday until 22 February and is open to absolutely everyone. As the name suggests, riders can choose to do any or all of the three disciplines. Dressage needs to be pre entered by 6pm on Wednesday of each week with Dora on 07876758979 or dorabeacom@live.co.uk but showjumping and cross country can be entered on the day.
Anyone willing to do dressage scribe or call –up steward should contact Dora.
