Egg Spectular Planned For Connell Hill
Friday nights Training at Connell Hill was a real family night out which saw non equine siblings give support, encouragement and thoroughly enjoy the friendly welcoming atmosphere. Everyone makes a start somewhere, so if you think I would love to jump a track and have never done so or it has been a number of years this is your opportunity, Connell Hill will guide you. The x-poles class opened the show with young riders confidently display their adoration of this truly unique sport and claiming red for clear rounds were Kimberley Cotton on ‘Dante’ and Niamh McAllister on ‘Adonis’ with Kimberley who, going onwards and upwards with dedication, and obvious hours of schooling, then claiming another red for jumping clear in the 40 cm class. The 60 cm class then saw as a well controlled smooth double clear for Dasha Zichova on ‘Sylvia’ with Natasha McKernon utilising the spacious arena claiming double clears in the 80 cm and 90 cm classes on ‘Star Statiz’. Lisa Mitchell-Talbot then demonstrated control with precision strides jumping double clear in the 1.0 m class on MJ. With training continuing next Friday, ‘Good Friday’, clocks having gone forward and Easter upon us what a way to begin the ‘holiday’ than a wee visit to Connell Hill where there will be a ‘sweep’ of Easter Eggs throughout the show; so load up and hop on over to Connell Hill for an ‘egg-spectacular’ nights jumping, contact Gillian 078 0317 8009 or Grace 077 6588 4254 for further information; classes x-poles, 40 cm, 50, 60 cm – 1.10 m at 6.30 pm.
