Strule Valley Hold Successful Working Hunter Show

 

STRULE VALLEY RIDING CLUB, Omagh, Co Tyrone held a working hunter competition recently at Ecclesville, Fintona on a rather wet day; however the rain didn’t dampen the spirits of the competitors!  Well done to all.

Thanks to Lynn Boggs & husband Tom for judging both the horse & pony classes, Andrew Bogle for building a fair but challenging course, Jane Huey for taking entries, Alison Donnell call up, Lucinda Blakiston-Houston, AJS Event Catering & to Ann & Noel Regan for sponsoring the beautiful champion & reserve champion rosettes.

Clogher Valley Riding Club member Jenna Coote & Riley had a very successful day winning both the 60cm & 70cm horse classes, Heather Smith & Bon Amie were in their usual consistent form winning the 80cm class & Strule Valley Riding Club Chairperson Lucinda Blakiston-Houston & her lovely young talented horse Gigi won both the 90cm & 1 metre classes.

Lynn Boggs had a difficult job then judging the horse championship but chose her champion in Bon Amie & Heather Smith with Gigi & Lucinda Blakiston-Houston reserve.

 

On to the pony classes, and young Sophia Williams & her lovely bay pony Rossfire Runaway won the 50cm pony class with brother Patrick & Coolmore Princess in 2^ndplace; not to be outdone by mum Heather who took 4^th place in the 80cm horse class!.  Fermanagh Harriers Pony Club member Kamryn McQuade & Midnight Rebel had a very good show winning both the 60cm & 70cm pony classes.
