Cerys “Runs Away” with Indoor Eventing Prizes

It was a night to remember for Cerys Howell and her collection of ponies as she scooped the top placings in two out of the four classes at the Pegus Indoor Eventing final held at Gransha EC on Tuesday 5^th March.  Runaway Dolly fought off stiff competition in the HorseWorld NI 1m class, while Cerys took 1^st and 2^nd places in the HorseWorld NI 90cm class with Joe from Raphoe and Captain Morgan.  Stella Black and her very consistent chestnut pony “Prince” took the honours in the junior section of the Pegus 70cm class when they delivered two foot perfect jumping rounds.  The Pegus 80cm class also proved to be very competitive amongst the junior riders with Niamh Martin narrowly missing out of the top spot with her lovely grey pony “Taste the Rainbow.”  First place went to the very determined William Girvin and Sequin, they were delighted to take home one of the very sought after Pegus jackets for first prize.

Albert Lowry won the senior section of the Pegus 80cm class with a text book jump-off round onboard his attractive bay horse “Dear Oh.”  Albert attended all nine weeks of this league and always turned himself and his horse out to perfection, he too was delighted with his Pegus jacket for first place.  There was serious competition amongst the senior riders in the Pegus 70cm class and in the end it was Norma Ferguson and Chikko Time who came out on top.  Nicole Barr and her very reliable grey horse “DJ” took the top spot in the senior section of the HorseWorld NI 1m class as they clocked the quickest time of the night against the other horses.  Winners in these two bigger classes went home with beautifully embroidered rugs and saddle cloths courtesy of HorseWorld NI.

A big thank you goes to our very generous sponsors, Pegus Horse Feeds and HorseWorld NI.
