Working Equitation Training Show – 21.9.25

Sunday 21st September was the date of the second Working Equitation Training Show at Laurel View. Quite a small crowd, with a number of those that have been involved in the training and activities to date, unavailable to come and play this time. It still ended up being a very productive and enjoyable session.

Jennifer Marshall kindly took on judges duties once again and was ably assisted by a number of scribes, time keepers, call up steward, scorers and able assistants. Huge thanks also to Una Clancy for all the work she has done and is doing to bring Working Equitation to us at Laurel View and across the island of Ireland. If you haven’t done so already why not join the Working Equitation Ireland Community on Facebook so you are in the loop for future training opportunities and shows?

It has to be said that the Working Equitation competitors have been incredibly supportive of each other, with a wee bit of competitive spirit coming in to play. 🙂 

At Laurel View we have another Working Equitation Show on the schedule for Sunday 23rd November. Also we have added a Working Equitation class to our Winter Dressage League, to give you all a chance to practice the dressage phase of Working Equitation, as the clinics mostly concentrate on the Ease of Handling phase. The first leg of the Dressage league is coming up soon on Sunday 12th October, so to find out more click on the entry on our calendar of upcoming events and then get your entry in.

Below are all the results from the 3 different phases on Sunday 21st September, plus the overall level winners. Well done everyone, we hope you enjoyed this experience of Working Equitation and will soon be back with us for some more. 🙂
