A well groomed Winters Tail at Laurel View

A cold, frosty winter’s day didn’t deter everyone from the Winter Working Hunter Show at Laurel View on 1^st February.

 The team at Laurel View are very grateful to the competitors who came from far and near despite the possibilities of getting frostbit! Kirsty and Courtney Stuart cast their knowledgeable eyes over the horse competitors in front of them and duly awarded the rosettes, prizes and trophies. The top accolade of Champion Working Hunter Horse and the David Warwick Memorial Cup went to Erin Faloona riding Kirsty Marsdens Loughmourne Diamond. The Champion also received a special prize sponsored by Lauren’s Forever Aloe. The Reserve Champion title and trophy went to Colonel Gun ridden by Laura King who was just home for the weekend.

 

Georgia Stubington took up the judge’s position in the afternoon and the pony competitors all proudly presented their four legged friends for her expert scrutiny. After the points were all added up the positions and prizes were awarded as recorded below. With the trophy for Champion Working Hunter Pony and mini bucket of Lauren’s Forever Aloe goodies going to Ciara Lane and Fizz, while Wizard of Oz and Sophie Winn took the Reserve Champion trophy home.
