Easter Bunny Jump Cross For Ardnacashel

What a busy few days there have been at Ardnacashel.  Firstly they held their Easter Bunny Jump Cross on Saturday 4th April 2015 with a fabulous turnout.  The weather was fine and an excellent course awaited the competitors with the last five fences timed!  The day started with a large 60/70 cm class with only two clear rounds!  Zara Gabbey riding Lola took first place,  young  Thomas Murphy riding the fabulous Lacarno took second place, third place went to Joshua Russell on Mon Amie and fourth place went to Olivia Mulligan riding Harvey.  The Best Turned Out prize went to a very dapper Olivia Mulligan on Harvey.

The 85cm class was heavily subscribed and in the Junior Class it was Emma Heaney riding QuickStep who took the Red Rosette!  Second place went to Zara Gabbey who continued her winning form riding Tulla, third place went to William Girvin riding the fastest round of the day on Milo and Casey Thompson riding Morgan took fourth place.  The Senior 85cm class was hotly contested and it was Rachel Hughes riding the Bay Olly who took first place, Victoria Teuton on Aoife took second place and Victoria continued her winning form riding Charlie into third place.  Albert Lowry riding Oh Dear took fourth place.  Best Turned Prize went to Victoria Teuton on Josh.  The 1m class was won by Michael Graham riding Matter of Fact, second place went to Alex McCourt on My Owners Crazy, third place went to a very pleased Sarah Majury on her great grey mare Jazz and fourth place went to Jenny Auld riding her fantastic grey mare Tia.

Best Turned Out Prize went to Alex McCourt.  A special thanks must go to our very kind sponsor Sean Cooney of Botanica who supplied the fantastic Botanica Hampers as prizes and to our competitors for their continued support.
