Winter Dressage League (4 of 6) – 18.1.26
This dressage competition on Sunday 18th January ended up being the first competition of 2026 in the Laurel View arenas. Numbers entered were smaller than usual, and as all the tests were in a short arena, it was decided to run the event all indoors keeping everyone mostly out of the worst of the elements. Only 1 competitor did not appear, so give us a great turnout rate of our super competitors from all over the Ulster province. Massive thanks to everyone for their support. Huge appreciation to our judge for the day Coreen Abernethy, who give her expertise for all 12 tests ridden in front of her, ably assisted by her scribe, Laurel. As always I need to thank all the Laurel View team responsible for setting up, running and clearing up, we have a great team here. 🙂
Now time for you to check out the results from this competition, the fourth in the Winter 25/26 League and remember if you want to join us on Sunday 22nd February for the next competition, entries are already open, just email laurelview01@btinternet.com to be included.
