It’s PK’s Night at Connell Hill
Connell Hill welcomed competitors to the Friday night Training Show where ‘Training is the Name of the Game’. Without this invaluable training competitors and horses will lack in competiveness and confidence as they progress through their career whether it be for fun or higher stakes. This show was a most relaxed enjoyable night where everyone was part of the show as the evening sun set upon the outdoor arena making for most pleasurable jumping. Clare McAuley on ‘Persian Blaze’ set the standard for the night with a double clear in the 60 cm class. Lindsay Cameron on ‘Jess’ then took the first double clear in the 70 cm class. Next came the 80 cm class with new combination making their debut and one which we will see much more of in the future was Rachel Black on ‘Lisha’ jumping double clear with Karen Glendinning on ‘PK’, Karen and ‘PK’ then took the challenge of the 90 cm class jumping double clear. The course set for the 1.10 m class saw a superb double clear for Martin McCloskey on ‘Amy’. Connell Hill would like to take this opportunity and wish Andrew McAuley a safe and enjoyable trip to America.
We hope to see you all back in the not too distant future and remember to keep an eye out for shows advertised attaining to your level at Connell Hill – Your Venue!
