Anna Excels At The Meadows
Saturday was a mixed day in all senses at the Flexi Eventing at The Meadows where early morning competitors had to brave the elements while those competing in the latter part of the day enjoyed glorious sunshine.
Double clears in the showjumping were difficult to find but riders were very content with the opportunity of doing some very valuable schooling prior to the start of the Eventing and ShowJumping seasons.
The dressage attracted another good entry and the standard was very encouraging in all classes. However, the competitor who stood out was Anna Kelly who took a first and third in dressage and delivered two super double clears in the showjumping which augurs very well for the Eventing year ahead.
Alex Gordon also made a very welcome return to the arena and claimed the red dressage rosette in the Novice class on board Sox before hot-footing it off for a hockey match!
Fiona Fitzbibbon and Charlie Finn had a run-away victory in Intro dressage, finishing three points clear of Malachy Casement and his very promising Maestoso.
Next week sees the finish of the current series of Flexi Eventing. Dressage entries should be with Dora by 6pm on Wednesday.
