A massive shift in the weather surprised us all this week. The woolly hats and scarves were part of the daily dress and heavy rugs were put back on the horses. The horses were not fooled by Mother Nature though as they had not yet shed their hairy winter coats? 

 Competitors were not put off by the weather and attended our week-end shows with typical nervousness and determination.

 Our dressage classes Intro and Prelim 13 were ridden well and marked highly by our dressage Ireland judge, June O,Reilly

Una and Jenny were immaculately turned out for the show and the vetran Pompey, a true elegant gentleman's horse produced two good tests. Una and Jenny were placed 3rd and 4th. 1st and 2nd placings were awarded to a delighted Grace Kelly and Mary Joe.

 The prelimary test was deservedly won by Martin O'Rourke on the ever improving Princess. Kristina who had to rush from work that morning was placed a close 2nd behind him with Moya coming 3rd and Will on the show jumper Blue 4th.

 The show jumping was exciting. Children and Adults a like were electric with anticipation and fear. Everybody, horses and ponies jumped out of their skins. They were super.

  The 50 - 60cm class was won by Indie on Rosie, 2nd was Nicole on Ed, 3rd Holly on Willow and 4th was Moya on Beauty.

 Clodagh and Will fought it out for the 90cm. Will's Blue pipped Clodagh's Dancer to win the class.
