Spooktacular Show at Laurel View

All sorts of very interesting characters turned out for the Halloween Show at Laurel View on Sunday 26^th August. A horse with a pink tutu clearing the high jump, a zombie on call up, witch on the till and Ghostbusters ready for action.  Not quite the normal competition attire, but the Halloween show was the perfect excuse for some fancy dress fun.

 

Jumping was first on the agenda, horses, ponies and riders didn’t seem particularly spooked by the witches and ghouls lurking round the jump wings.  With the blood red ribbons going to Savannah Thompson and Jori; Sarah Saied and Rab; Cora McNulty and Chief; Eimear White and Bonnie; Iris Bailie and Punch for their fearless performance.

 

Spiders and spectres didn’t cause too much of an obstruction round the obstacle course.  Particularly un-phased participants were Amber Hopkins on Sparky; Holly Ross on Tinks and Natasha Lowry on Jonathan.

 

The cradle stakes weren’t creepy at all for Sparky and Amber Hopkins nor Tinks ridden by Holly Ross.

 

Mr B proved to be the main man when Penny Richmond rode him to the top of the Pony High Jump Competition. While in the Horse Competition it was Pink Girl Power that took Katie McDonnell and the tutu wearing Silly Sally to the top height.

 

The Fancy Dress was probably the trickiest competition to judge at the Halloween Show, but in the end Bride of Dracula, aka Amber Hopkins on Sparky was the winner under 14 years and Bumble Bees Jonathan and Natasha Lowry were the top older pair. All competitors in fancy dress were to be highly commended as they had all went too so much effort.

 

Creeping around avoiding the camera hating zombies to capture the competitors in action was the Equi-Tog photographer.

 

The Halloween horrors have mostly returned to their cupboard for another year and to make way for the next activity in the Laurel View schedule. Keep up with the Laurel View calendar on www.laurelview.co.uk
