Madison Diamond Wins again at Gransha Equestrian Centre Derby Series

Sunday 14^th June saw the second in a series of four Derbys at Gransha Equestrian Centre. In the 70cm class a total of 12 seniors tackled the course consisting of 22 obstacles.   First place went to one of our longest serving livery horses ‘Madison Diamond’ owned by Norma Crooks and ridden by Paulene Foster.  This teenager still comes out with a spring in her step and proves that she is as capable as the younger horses by winning this class two weeks in a row.  Settling for 2^nd place was Amanda Dempsey with Archie.  Lindsey McMullan and Lady also jumped two great rounds but had a slightly slower time putting them into 3^rd place.  4^th was awarded to Debbie Rush with Archy while Kate Robinson and Harry took 5^th.  Caitlin McKechnie with Fat Boy produced a smooth round leaving them in the lead in the junior section.

A very competitive 80cm class saw Joanne Cairns and Apache come out on top, with Michelle McConnell and Bob in 2^nd and Rachel Irwin with Camiro in 3^rd.  Claire Forsyth took 4^th place with her lovely bay horse Sky Shadow.  Winning the junior category was Katie McKee with Dougle, a close 2^nd was Charlotte Rogers and Molly and slotting into 3^rd was Regan McKee and Cleo. 

 

Going solo in the over 50s class was Valerie McKie and her lovely steel grey mare ‘Song of Sixpence.’  They produced a very polished round and took home a red rosette.

 

Michael Burges with Maggie rode a very determined round in the 90cm class to win the junior section.  Meanwhile the senior section winner was Aaron Brown with Isis, 2^nd went to Chloe Burges with Olga and 3^rd was Katie Johnson and Zeus.  Hulabaloo ridden by Kathryn Quee slotted into 4^th place.  Winning the senior section of the 1m class was Shannon Hiscutt with Milly while Regan McKee jumped a faultless round on Willow to win the junior section.  The last remaining dates for these derbys are Sunday 21^st and 28^th June.  Check out the website for more summer events at www.granshaequestrian.co.uk.
