February Fog Doesn’t Deter Dressage at Laurel View

Cold fog didn’t deter the determined dressage competitors from the fourth competition of the Laurel View Winter Dressage League on the 8^th February

 

Ivor Harper placed JJ and Diane Jones at the top of the Class 1 competitors riding BD Intro B, with Precious Pebbles and Louise Greer a very well deserved runner up.

 

Ivor was also tasked with judging the Newcomers riding Prelim 7 and top of the class here was Cherry and Kirsten Patterson. The blue ribbon went home with a delighted Sarah Saied and Laurel View Rab.

 

Prelim 13 was on the schedule for Class 3 competitors and Martina McKinley was in the judges position, when the scores were totted up the red ribbon belonged to Roxy and Leah Knight, with blue for Ballylin Ben and Darryl McKinney.

 

Thermals would have been useful for Will McAuley judging in the outdoor, but he didn’t let the chill deter him from scoring the Class 4 Prelim 14 competitors. When all the counting was done it was Margie Mac and Erin Faloona that came out on top. Erin was in fine form as she also took second place on Roger.

 

Erin Faloona rode Margie Mac to the top of the Novice class also, once again under the expert eye of Will McAuley. Helen Faulkner took Derryvane Danny into second place.

 

Ruaidri O’Cainain and TDY Wishful Thinking topped the open class for the Elementary test they rode in front of judge David Patterson. Just ahead off Helen Faulkner and Derryvane Danny riding the Novice option.

The next and fifth leg of the Winter Dressage League is on the calendar for Sunday 29^th March, full details of this competition and many more activities are listed at www.laurelview.co.uk
