PJ Gold shines at Laurel View

Wendy Forsythe’s Intro B test on Tifftarney PJ Gold was Geraldine Lowry’s clear winner, second to her with another excellent score were Judith Watt and Ellie May.

Prelim 12 which was the test for Class 2 competitors, was judged by Jacky Reid and it was Diane Sefton on Laurel View Bella that were declared the winners. Wendy Forsythe and Tifftarney PJ Gold were still delighted with their blue rosette in this class.

David Patterson was tasked with judging Prelim 13 and this test was not unlucky for winners Leah Knight and Zebedee.

The second position was earned by Joanne McSeveney and Copney.

The outdoors arena was Vanda Robinson’s location for the duration while she cast her expert eye over classes 4, 5 and 6. Daryl McKinney and Ballylin Ben took the 
top spot in Class 4 riding Prelim 14, with Copney and Joanne McSeveney winning another blue ribbon for this class.

Novice 27 for Class 5 and in the number one position after the scores were added up were Rolando and Emma Hobson. Runner up in this class was Linda McIlwaine riding Beechmount Baxter.

Emma Hobson and Rolando took the top spot for their Novice test in the Open class as well, with Linda McIlwaine and Beechmount Baxter in second place with another good score.
