It’s a ‘Smokey’ Training Show at Connell Hill
It was a lovely summer night as Connell Hills’ Training Show got under way with competitors arriving in full flight ready to take their challenges availing of the fabulous surface in both the outdoor warm up arena and then the super indoor arena. This in turn saw novice horses gaining confidence and some excellent rounds of jumping. The show commenced sharply with a full house of double clears and then moved to the 50 cm class with a clear for Maeve Carlin on ‘Cinders’. Paige Porter then took the 60 cm challenge and jumped double clear with ‘Tyrone’. The outdoor warm up was a hive of activity in preparation for the 70 cm class which saw smoke rising in the indoor arena as Tyler Houston jumped a super double clear on ‘Smokey’ who then claimed double clear in the 80 cm class. The 90 cm class then saw a full house of double clears as riders skilfully displayed control coupled with precision. Everyone is welcome back next week where once again the show will commence at 6.30 pm.
