Super Stylish Dressage at Gransha
Elaine Morrow (Ardenza Gem)
Saturday 28th November saw the second round of the Harmony & Coast Dressage league which took place at Gransha Equestrian Centre. Competitors braved the elements and impressed the judges throughout the day, all of which are aiming for the grand finale in March as part of the Pegus Gala Weekend. This is a busy time of year for our sponsors – Harmony Hair Studio on Grays Hill in Bangor are working around the clock to provide ladies and gents with the ultimate party hairstyle for the festive period. Gift vouchers and products such as Cloud Nine hair straighteners are available for the perfect Christmas present. To compliment the perfect hairstyle this Christmas is the perfect outfit – Coast of Donaghadee can provide just this. Stocking a wide selection of ladies fashion, plus jewellery and accessories, this boutique is a hidden gem in our coastal town. Furthermore, Coast has a 25% sale on at present, with many items being reduced by 50% on the run up to Christmas.

The winter months prove to be very busy at Gransha with a different discipline on offer every weekend. Working hunter follows the dressage and following this is horse showjumping on Saturday 12th December and pony jumping on Sunday 13th.
