HORSEWEEK
FARMWEEK
OCTOBER 27 2022
Champion day for Jenna and
‘Fancy Ferro’ at Hagans Croft
S
ATURDAY, October
22 saw the second
leg of the Working
Hunter League and
Northern
Ireland
Festival Qualifiers being held
at Hagans Croft. The day
started off with the Horse
classes and the 60cm and
Four-year-old class. ‘Ruby’
is not four years old, but
nevertheless a young spring
chicken at heart, taking the
red ribbon at 17 years of age!
It was then on to the 70cm
class, where two of the
three competitors had never
competed at Working Hunter
before, but were willing to
give it a go. With all three
competitors going clear, it
was down to their showpiece.
A hair’s whisker separated
them all, with second place
going to Janine Austin and
‘Little Black Beauty’ and first
place to Amy Griffith and
‘Carrie’. Amy and ‘Carrie’
then went on to be awarded
overall Reserve Champion
Horse for the second week
in a row. What a great
achievement for this pair,
especially considering Amy
has only owned ‘Carrie’ for
four weeks! Organisers look
forward to see how they get
on through the rest of the
league.
The 80cm horse class was
the largest of the day, with
a total of nine competitors,
therefore competition was
stiff. Megan Norton and
‘Hathaway’ finished on a
total score of 91/100, which
secured them second place.

However, it was a winning
day for Jenna Crawford and
‘Fancy Ferro’, who placed first
in both the 80cm and 90cm
classes. The pair went into
the championship class at
the end of the day and, rode
a foot-perfect performance,
which impressed judge Chloe
Thompson so much that she
awarded the pair Champion
Horse on the day.
The latter part of the day
saw the pony classes being
held. Jocelyn Hutchinson
had a day of red and blue
rosettes, taking first place
riding ‘Minion’ and second
place
riding
‘Ashfield
Dreamcatcher’ in the 60cm
class and again second place
on ‘Ashfield Dreamcatcher’ in
the 70cm class. Ella McCrory
on ‘Annagh Storm’ was first
in the 70cm class, as they
90CM HORSE: Jenna Crawford and ‘Fancy Ferro’ won the
90cm Working Hunter Horse NIF qualifier and took the
Champion Horse title at Hagans Croft. (FW43-528NN)
were the only combination
to achieve a clear jumping
round.
Brooke Rice and ‘Stanray
Luigi’ were the only pair
to jump clear in the 80cm
class, therefore there was
no denying them the red
rosette. It was red again for
Chloe McLaughlin for the
second week in a row in the
90cm class with ‘Teddy Boy’,
galloping home with a lovely
clear round.
All first and second placings
throughout the pony classes
on the day were eligible for
the championship at the end
of the day. A foot-perfect
performance was seen from
Jocelyn Hutchinson and
‘Minion’, who finished off
with a fabulous gallop down
the long side, securing them
Champion Pony! Well done!
Reserve Champion Pony
went to Chloe McLaughlin
and ‘Teddy Boy’, who had a
very successful and fun day
all round.
