Summer 2023 Dressage League Results

The dressage competition on Sunday 10th September was also the final of a successful summer league. All the scores were totted up to give the list of worthy winners below.

Special mention to those claiming the sought after red rosette. In the Intro class the aptly named Sunny won the Summer league with Debbie McClean in the saddle. Linda McIlwaine and her new four legged partner Roundthorn Oreo picked up firsts for Classes 2 & 3, so this partnership has got off to an excellent start. First prize in Class 4 and also the unofficial prize for the longest name combination went to Riverbourne Exclusive Echo and Samantha Hamilton. Novice honours went to Barbara Hanna and Maverick, while top of the Open Class went to Laura King riding Bella. 

As is customary we award two special classes, one for Riding School students on the Laurel View horses and ponies. It is particularly pleasing to see some of these combinations appearing in the regular class results as well. The second special class is a competition between the Laurel View Staff and Liveries. Scroll to the bottom of the results for the Summer 2023 winners of these special classes.

It won’t be long at all before the Winter league comes around, starting on 1st October, we look forward to seeing how these winners get on as some progress into the next class up. But for now we will leave the winners below basking in the glow of their success in the Summer league.
