This week’s three autumn / winter league finals brings to a close the competition year at Ravensdale Lodge with only one show remaining before the short winter break. The show in question happens to be the centre’s Bumper Christmas Show on Sunday 28th December and what a show this promises to be to bring the curtain down on the season at Ravensdale Lodge. The festive action kicks off at 11am and once again the generous sponsors that support the leagues and shows at Ravensdale Lodge throughout the year are rowing in behind this show with some marvellous goodies on offer. Ravensdale Lodge, Mackins Horse Feeds, Moorhill Saddlery, Botanica International & Horse First will all be putting up the prizes for this show so, in addition to a day of action packed competition & fun there will be some very lucky people going home with fantastic prizes. The show will be held in the comfort of the two indoor arenas at Ravensdale Lodge so combinations are guaranteed a roof over their heads regardless of the weather. There will be classes from X poles to 1.10m and all are welcome to join in what is sure to be a day of fun filled competition and action.
