There was a real sense of spring in the air, with the tracks in great shape and a challenging course designed by Eric with some interesting lines providing a real test in the arena section.

Thanks also to the team of helpers on the ground each week to ensure that things run like clockwork. And finally, thank you to photographers Anne Morrison and Eva Russell for their commitment and brilliant work each week.

Katelyn Thomas was the clear winner in the 75 class with her super little pony Goldie. This combination has been really consistent throughout the series and been in the prizes almost every week. Rachel Moore picked up second and third places with two lovely young horses who enjoyed an educational outing.

In the 90cm class Alex Greer jumped a fabulous round to win the class with Phoenix Spark. Just behind in second place was a very happy Caroline Millar riding Alfie, with Ruth Lyttle in third place with Oberon.

The 1m class was very competitive and it was great to see some riders using it in preparation for the eventing season. Nikki Cullen took first and third place with Tango Lad and Danske Coevers Lass. Naomi Buchanan enjoyed her run to finish second and was particularly pleased with the variety of skinnies on offer.
