Sunshines as Meadows Horse Series continues to be popular

The sunny day brought riders from all over the region to the centre, with numbers in excess of 30 in many of the classes.

The biggest of which was the 1.10, where after 39 starters Aedi McCaughey came out on top to take the win and the lions share of the prize money.

Winning the 1.20 was regular competitor, Suzanne Posnett on-board the Maxim Van Overis Z owned by Pamela Posnett. Eight starters took part in the 1.30, after a sterling performance, the winner was Suzanne Posnett stopping the clock in 40.99.

As always in arena two, the Unregistered arena was very well supported with over 30 in some of the classes on offer.

Showjumping continues next weekend, with both SJI & Unregistered classes commencing at 9.30am.
