Saturday 16th August 2014 saw our second Cash Derby on Grass. The course consisted of a mix of cross country, show jump and working hunter fences with lots of twists and turns to test both horse and rider. Ground conditions were perfect and once again we had lots of new faces in attendance to try their luck at winning the cash prizes! First out onto the course was Ruth Wilson on her Grey Home Alone City in the 1m class. The skinny log fence caused several run outs for several of the competitors in this class. Cara Norman on her young mount Two Tone Ventura rode a fabulous round and secured first place and Rachel Hughes on Peter Perfect into second place.
These were the only two clear rounds of the 1m class. The course was adjusted to 85cm and once again the competition commenced. The ditch combination caught a few horses by surprise but not young Cerys Howell on Runaway Dolly and Captain Morgan who went on to secure first and second place.
