Spring Show 6th April – Showjumping results
Despite the poor forecast, the committee boldly made the decision to run the event and we had a great day of competition. The wind may have been a bit tricky at times but the riders managed to negotiate the course, built by Chair of the CRC, Maggie Wylie, with little difficulty and very few problems. It was lovely to see some of our younger members doing particularly well and this bodes well for the summer season. Long time committee member, Amanda Harper, had a super day with her ex racehorse, “Willshewontshe” with a 3rd in her dressage and then went on to win her 80cm jumping class, She also had a 2nd place in the hotly contested 70cm class. The committee work hard in the run up to our events and it takes a lot of time to organise schedules, book venues, order rosettes, prepare our new booking portal, EntryMaster and then to take entries, get times out, etc etc. On the day, we have to put out our dressage arenas and build a course of jumps that is suitable for the level of riders attending. Today, the committee stepped up to the plate and delivered a great day for our competitors.
