Easter Show – 7.4.24

It seemed that Storm Kathleen wanted to hang around for the Laurel View Easter Show even though she should have blew through by Saturday night, but the great crowd of competitors didn’t let “her” deter them. Wind rattling the roller doors added an additional obstacle for the “Eggstacle Course.” The competitors dashed around the daffodils, avoided the animals (stuffed toy variety) around the course and paced carefully around the poles to prevent penalty points being added to their time. Those that took the top spots are listed below. Keep an eye on the Equi-Tog website for the competition photos 🙂

Mid morning and the Hop over it show jumping got underway in the main indoor arena. A crowd of spectators showed their support for the competitors as they navigated their way around the jumps. Some partnerships were in top form, jumping clear in good style, earning the rosettes and prizes.

Fabulous to see a large number of the Laurel View students taking part on the riding school horses and ponies, many appearing in the top spots too. It will probably be quicker than we would like that the Halloween & Christmas Shows will come around on the 3rd November and 15th December respectively. 

Huge thanks to all the competitors for coming along to take part at the show and to all the Laurel View team responsible for setting up and running what proved to be an excellent Easter competition. 

The next show on the Laurel View calendar is the Working Hunter Show for horses and ponies on Sunday 21st April. The working hunter show is pre entry to allow allocation of times, entries are open right up until 8pm on Thursday 18th April, but for now we shall give the Easter Show winners their moment.
