Hat-trick for Wilson at 2017 TRI Equestrian & Baileys Pony finals

The standard of jumping was ‘fantastic’, as commented by the judges. With some very fast rounds in both arenas, those spectating were treated to a display of talent within the region. Course designers Aaron McCusker and William Brown were on duty all day, with many of the courses providing a great training opportunity for the remaining RDS qualifiers.

Scoring a hat trick of podium topping placings, Samuel Wilson, took home sashes in the 148 1.10m, 148 6/7 Year Old and the 148 1.20m. With his team of ponies ‘Springhill Clover’, owned by Pat Connell, and ‘Soul Rebel’ owned by his father Ronnie Wilson, Samuel fought hard in all classes as on several occasions he had other athletes hot on his heels.

The Ulster Region pony committee would like to thank Gareth and his team at TRI Equestrian for all their work during the tour and on the final day, to Judy Maxwell from Baileys Horse Feeds for her on going support of the region and providing complimentry products during the day, to the SJI Region for their sponsorship of the prize funds. The biggest thank you on the day goes to the parents, riders and ponies for making the tour such a success.
