Week ending 12th April 2015, results Ravensdale Lodge Equestrian & Event Centre.

It was another busy week at Ravensdale Lodge as families made the most of the last week of the Easter break and combinations made the most of the good weather. It was also a long week at the centre with competitions starting on Easter Monday with the second “Bumper” show of the year taking place. There was the usual large attendance at this show as show jumping enthusiasts came in force to jump in the seven timed classes on the day. These shows are the Grand Prix for leisure riders where competition for prizes in each class is fierce, weather and jumping conditions were perfect on the day with the fences being dressed and the sun shone throughout. After this show was over the course was then set by the hard working arena parties at Ravensdale Lodge for Easter Tuesday’s Young Event Horse qualifier for Balmoral show.

Once again the weather conditions favoured organisers on the day as combinations arrived and left the facility in bright warm sunshine. Thursday saw another near record breaking crowd jump in the SJI registered indoor league at Ravensdale Lodge. This league has two weeks left to run and there are six modified classes from 80cm to 1.30m with a start time of 11am. Friday evening’s indoor horse & pony training league also saw a large turnout for this ever popular show. Again, there are two weeks left to run with this league with the seven classes from X poles to 1.10m having a 5.30pm start time. Indoor arena eventing took centre stage on Saturday afternoon as combinations took on the three classes of show jumps and portable cross country fences combined. This competition continues next Saturday but riders are please asked to note that the final of this competition will now take place on Saturday 2nd May and not 25th April as previously advertised. There is a start time of 2pm for the 70cm class which is followed by the 85cm class at 3pm and the 1m class at 4pm. The final competitions of the six run at Ravensdale Lodge this week was held on Sunday afternoon when indoor dressage was the discipline. There are two more weeks of this league remaining and the competition has a 2pm start time, all weekly tests can be found on the Ravensdale Lodger website and entries should be in the office by no later than 9am on the Friday before competition. With two weeks left to run on the winter / spring schedule before everything moves outdoors again for the summer, show organisers are putting the finishing touches to the spring / summer schedule which will be announced in these pages next week. With so much on offer at the centre on a weekly basis, show organisers are hoping that the headline for the coming weeks will continue to be “Another busy week at Ravensdale Lodge”.
