Winter Working Hunter Show – 14.2.16
Valentines day proved to be a great day for those who love to spend time with their horses and ponies competing in the 2016 Laurel View Annual Winter Working Hunter Show
Michael Lewis had the task of judging the horse classes, the early classes with green horses and riders were given lots of encouragement as they tackled the working hunter course, many for the very first time.
Classes 3 and 4 were particularly strong in numbers, but the water jump decided who was going to make it across the finish line successfully.
