Barney best of class at Laurel View
There was a long list of winners at the Laurel View Winter Dressage League final on 30th March, but it was Barney and Christine Smyth that earned the biggest cheer when they won both the Newcomers and Riding School Competitions.
First and second was on the cards for Santiago Guieirrez in Class 1 riding BD Intro B on Alfie and Billy respectively, the judge in the chair for this class was Martina McKinley.
Alfie and Santiago Gutierrex were also top of the Class 1 league, with the wonderfully named No Shenanigans and Marian Millar coming second in the league.
Ivor Harper scored Gillian McCann and Amazon top of the Newcomers class, while Little Miss May and Lucy Toombs were just behind in second.
The Newcomers league class was won by Christine Smyth riding Laurel View Barney with Gem and Bree Rutledge taking home the big frilly blue rosette.
First on the day in Class 3 riding Prelim 18 under Ivor Harpers watchful eye was Penny Murphy and Tick It. Second was taken home by Ludovik K and Emma Hobson.
Tick It and Tilly were the top two in the Class 3 league with Penny Murphy and Gillian Orr the respective riders.
David Patterson placed Milo and Leah Knight first in Class 4 for riding Prelim 19, second was received by MJI Invinsible, Joanne Jarden.
Top league prize for Class 4 was claimed by MJI Invinsible and Joanne Jarden, with Beechmount Baxter and Linda McIlwaine securing second place.
Novice 23 winner in Class 5 also judged by David Patterson was Red Ruby Rouge ridden by Joanne Jarden, with the very hard to pronounce Freuhllingstrum and Laura King second in line.
Top of the Novice league were Freullingsstrum and Laura King, with a league second for Silly Sally and Katie Watt.
Open and last class of the day for David Patterson as Judge, saw the red rosette going to Allan Dewhurst and Isaac for their Elementary test. The second slot was filled by Tifftarney Clyde and Wendy Forsythe riding the Novice test.
Kirsty Marsden and Loughmourne Diamond were ecstatic to win the league riding their Elementary tests. Second was taken home by Joanne Jarden and MJI Wendy also for riding the Elementary test choice.
The Riding School Competition was decided on the best average throughout the league and this was one by Christine Smyth and Barney, with Holly McKeown riding Sparky scoring second best riding school competitor.
The end of a very successful Winter League means that it’s time to look ahead to Summer and the next Dressage League. The Summer Schedule gets underway on Sunday 25th May, full details of tests and league dates are posted on www.laurelview.co.uk
