Laurel View Dressage Competitors Not Deterred By Dismal Weather

Dressage competitors should be greatly commended for their dedication turning out in strength for competition at Laurel View even on a most bleak winter’s day like the 11^th January.

 

The judges and scribes should be praised also for managing to keep going despite the dismal conditions, it’s wonderful how motivational a cup or two of Robert’s soup can prove to be. This recipe helps to keep the Laurel View team running too.

 

Ivor Harper had two classes to judge in the relative warmth of the smaller indoor.  Diane Jones and JJ earned themselves another red rosette for riding BD Intro A in Class 1, while Ballyrock Harvey and Lisa Stewart were only a shade behind in an equally superb test.

 

Laurel View Rab and Sarah Saied impressed him most in the Newcomers class, with Zena Martin and Inishcara justifiably pleased with their blue rosette for Prelim 4.

 

Lynsey Craig was in the judge’s seat for Class 3 competitors riding Prelim 12. Her top spot went to Shelley McFarlane and William, with Nicola Dunseith and Amber not quite getting the red.

 

Judge for Class 4 and the Prelim 18 test was Emma Andrews, her namesake Emma Hobson and Rolando took the red ribbon, while Leah Knight’s test on Ollie earned them the blue.

 

Geraldine Lowry was set up for a busy afternoon, first she accepted the task of judging the Novice class, with Joanne Jarden and Drunken Relation ending up the clear winners, with Margie Mac and Erin Faloona taking second with another excellent test ridden.

 

After the Novice class Geraldine Lowry donned her riding gear and warmed up Ringfort Nimmerdino to go on to win both 1^st and 2^nd in the Open class, judged by Angelene Nicholson, definitely a good day at the office for Geraldine.
