Lights Out On Laurel View League
The very popular Pounds for Points Show Jumping League at Laurel View came to a very abrupt and premature end when the lights went out at the start of the final on 17th December.
The 45cm class was nearing completion when the emergency lighting was put to the test, Chloe Baxter and Bruno who were jumping at the time not surprisingly parted company. Further investigation revealed that a crucial fuse had decided it was time for lights out and despite considerable efforts to get a suitable replacement nothing could be done to regain lighting in the main arena that night. So the 45cm jumpers who had made it round beforehand were placed and then the points in the league calculated for all the competitors that had turned up to compete at the final.
Competition had remained strong throughout the league, so those qualifying competitors that ended up at the top of their class had really earned their winnings. The Laurel View team were delighted to have the support of the many competitors throughout the league and can’t wait to do it all again in the spring.
The 11th March and the eight week Spring Show Jumping League will not be long in coming round. Before then on Wednesday evenings there is a busy agenda of clinics and training organised, including Eric Smiley sessions, Flat Work and Show Jumping clinics as well as the start of our British Horse Society Preliminary Teacher Training course.
