Winter Working Hunter Show – 5.2.17

I am going to have to give myself a talking to, as I have just realised I omitted to post the results of our Working Hunter Show to the website, my excuse, well it was a long day!!

Read on to find out who performed best and caught the judges eye at the show.

Sunday 5^th February was the date of the Annual Winter Working Hunter Show at Laurel View when Judith Aitken had the task of judging both horses and ponies at a wonderful day of working hunter competition.

It was Beechburn Lass, ridden by Katie Wray that won the Champion Working Hunter Horse title and was presented with the David Warwick Memorial Cup. The reserve champion position was filled by Katie’s mum, Nichola Wray with Lady Grey VI.

At the end of a very long day, the pony’s that persevered to the finish for the final judging should all have got an award for patience, but in the end the worthy winner of the Champion Working Hunter Pony rosette was awarded to Uisce Beatha ridden by Grainne Bennett, while

Greenfield Apache and Ellen McDonald took the runner up ribbon.

Throughout the day the Equi-Tog photographer was clicking away to capture the competitors in action, hopefully you get the chance to check out the pictures on Equi-Togs Facebook page.

Many of the winners took home qualifying cards for the Northern Ireland Festival, Laurel View wishes everyone the very best and remind qualifiers that the onus is on the competitor/owner to ensure that their horse/pony/rider combination is within the appropriate NIF qualifying class criteria.
