Winter Dressage League (4 of 6) – 15.1.23
A chilly start to the 2023 dressage competitions at Laurel View with the fourth leg of the Winter 22/23 League on Sunday 15th January. A number of competitors did not make it to the show thanks to succumbing to a variety of winter ailments and the preceding weeks windy and wet weather hadn’t helped riders to get much practice in at all, so considering all this we were very appreciative of the efforts involved for those competitors that made it to Laurel View to compete. Grateful thanks are extended to judges Coreen Abernethy and Ivor Harper and also to their scribes for the judging and recording of all the tests ridden. Last but not least thanks to the Laurel View team responsible for setting up and running the show, no matter what the weather.
The results are detailed below and the photographic records from the day will be posted on the Equi-Tog website in the coming days.
