Hagans Croft hosts penultimate
leg of Show jumping League
CROSS-POLES: Sofia Taylor on ‘Pepsi Coca Cola’ jumped clear
in the cross-poles class at Hagans Croft. (FW38-525NN)
RUNNER UP: Katie Rutherford on ‘Dixie’ was runner up in the
60cm class at Hagans Croft. (FW38-527NN)
ATURDAY, September
18 saw a glorious day
of autumn sunshine
beam over the show
jumping arena at
Hagans Croft Equestrian.
This made for a great start
to the first class of the day,
the cross-poles, regardless
of whether these competitors
got a clear round or not,
everyone
received
a
special rosette as a gift of
encouragement.
Then it was on to the 50cm
class, where competitors
jumped the course of 12
fences, with fences nine to
12 now being timed. This is
when the competition started
to hot up - however, with only
three double clears, Olivia
Rodgers and ‘Motivator’ were
delighted with their time of
31.56 seconds and took home
the red ribbon.
The 60cm class saw a
mere 0.24 of a second
separate the top two double
clears. However, it was red
once again for the second
consecutive week for Charlie
Watson and ‘Socks’, storming
home in a time of 24.85
seconds and first place. Katie
Rutherford was delighted
with ‘Dixie’s’ performance
and the blue rosette simply
made their day!
Una Megoran had a fantastic
day’s jumping with her mare
‘Misty’. Not only did they win
the 70cm class and the 80cm
class, they also achieved the
fastest time of the day with
21.50 seconds! This pair just
love their jumping and it is
very clear to see! This has set
them up well for the final next
week - well done.

Show Jumping
Class 1 - Cross-Poles - Clear
Rounds:
Sofia Taylor, Pepsi Coca
S
Right from the off, the 90cm
class saw poles fall to the
ground at every turn and that
illusive double clear seemed
that it was never going to
be achieved. However, when
Abbey Stevenson and ‘Belle’
entered the arena, they knew
they didn’t have to beat any
speed records - they just had
to achieve a steady round,
keeping all poles intact and
that they did in a time of
30.88 seconds. They held first
place right through until the
very last competitor entered
the arena. Seamus Rodgers
and ‘Kal’ also kept all the
poles intact, but shaved a
few seconds off Abbey’s
time, finishing in a time of
25.94 seconds and taking
home the red ribbon for the
90cm class. Abbey and ‘Belle’
slotted into second place,
nevertheless delighted with
their achievements.
Thank you to everyone who
supported the fourth leg of
this five-week league - Hagans
Croft hopes to see everyone
again next week. Thanks are
extended to all the stewards,
who make the event run
so smoothly. The league
