Class 4 winner’ image – Caroline Morris and Cavalier Mealough Lass winner of BEFAB Ltd’s 90cm to 1m class
The cross pole to 50 cm class has been sponsored by Tony Heaney Contracts who does a great job at Ardnacashel keeping the five star facilities up to standard for guests and liveries. Thank you to Tony Heaney for his support and hard work! The results (from league points) of this class were as follows. In first place was Anya Teuton riding Starlight. Anya has been one of the most regular and consistent competitors in this league and has always a big grin on her face no matter what the result! There was a rosette for a junior rider who had shown most progression over the league and so Anya was awarded this to go along with her embroidered Ardnacashel Rug, sash and first rosette! Well done to her!

In second place in this class was Alice Magill riding her handsome pony Bernie. They have also ridden some fantastic rounds over the course of the league and should be very proud of how they have come on over the past 8 weeks! Finally, Soul- Be Courtney and Starlight jumped their way into third place! Soul-Be and Starlight are a very worthy pair of this result and all three of these competitors will be ones to watch in the near future!

Greenville Electrical Supplies sponsored the 60cm – 70 cm class. In first place based on points alone was Jennifer Quinn on her trusty stead Samson. Jennifer has ridden very determined and positive rounds over these eight weeks and the team at Ardnacashel would like to commend her enthusiasm! In joint second position was Gail Smyth and Zara Wood on Max. Gail was on board her ex racehorse Bruno who has come out raring to go each week and Gail has done a fantastic job riding him round the challenging courses each week! Zara is a very talented young rider and has left a lasting impression at Ardnacashel for her ability to hop up onto a young and very green pony and make it look effortless! Lara McComb and Bobby received third place and are a well matched combination, riding the courses with ease each week!
On the night of the final, there were also rosettes for anybody regardless of having points or not for the fastest jump off time. In first place was Sarah Brashaw riding Dan, in second was Zara Wood and Max in third position was Georgie Young and Hollie and fourth was Jackie Walker with Bracken.
Ferndale Boarding Kennels and Doggy Day Care were the kind sponsors of the 70cm – 80 cm class. The results of the points league were Samantha Ross and her lovely horse Cardy Cruise in first position who have been a great pair to watch and have been very sporting and encouraging of other competitors. In second position came Felicity Johnston and Mistletoe who have consistently jumped double clears! Mistletoe must have known it was an important night and showed off his excitement in the arena making Felicity’s job a little more difficult! In third positon came Siobhan Mulligan and Penny who also received the rosette for the senior who has come on the most over the course of the league.
The results for the fastest rounds in the jump off for this class were in first place, Vicky Titterington with Pink Lloyd, in second was Judena Leslie riding Da Vinci, in third came Regan McKee and Clio and Joshua Russell riding Mon Amie rode into fourth!
