A huge thank you to The Equestrian Store for such generous sponsorship of the Silver Show on 4th October, so many children went home after a wonderful day in the autumn sunshine clutching bags full of goodies.

This year we has three rings in operation, a working-hunter ring,  equitation jumping up to 70cm, and show-jumping from 75cm to 1m 10. The lead rein/starter stakes was won by Kaitlynn Kearns on Joe, immaculately turned out, just ahead of Niamh McClory on Indiana Jones. For many children  it was their first time doing a working-hunter class, and the judge Phillipa Auret steered them through the class and gave all competitors many useful tips. Sadie McMahon with a broad grin was the winner of the 75cm class, just ahead of Poppy Moore. The 85cm class had a clear winner in Hannah Rafferty who gave a very polished performance, with Corey Tennyson close behind and the winner of the horse section. The 1M class provided the judge with a difficult decision but the final winner was Laoise O’Farrell just ahead of Hannah Rafferty, and the horse section was won by Beth Cunningham much to the delight of her large support team.

The equitation jumping, judged by Vanne Campbell, provided some excellent jumping. The 40cm class won by Ruby McGinn,  just ahead of Kaitlyn Kearns. Ally Haire on his young pony Dusty showed everyone how to ride, winning not only the 50cm class but the 60cm class too. A combination for the future, watch out! The 70cm class was timed and the clear winner here was Sam McElroy on Belmont Toby, arriving straight from the rugby pitch.

The 75cm class, incorporating a Junior Dengie qualifier, attracted an entry of 25, and ended up with an exciting jump-off,  all the competitors being  given the chance to practice the jump-off, and the winner here was Connie Crothers on Albus Dumbledore

Over 20 competitors took part in the 90cm class, also a Winter League Dengie Qualifier, and again the course built by Stephen McAlindon provided several tense moments for the parents! Tara Bertholon took the trophy home with second place going to Alex Lappin who rushed in from the working hunter ring.

In an amazing double Rachel Brown was the winner in both the 1m and 1m10 classes bringing to a close the Iveagh Silver Show 2014.

Grateful thanks to all the parents/helpers who spent Friday in the rain building the courses, Judith McClelland the SJ judge, and those parents who assisted on the day.
