Booth, was the sole competitor in the EI90P class
but he gave a great account of himself and his pony
Melview Chester adding just four show jumping
penalties and 3.2 cross country time penalties to
their flatwork mark.
Meantime, a huge entry in the EI80 T meant a class
division. Many of those entered were getting prepped
for the Pony Club Home Championships next week.
With this in mind, Denis Currie conducted a Course
Walk for a number of competitors who were ‘newbies’
to eventing.
Standards were high and competition was intense.
The ‘A’ section was headed by Poppy Moore on her
mother’s Cyrano mare, Silver Button, who finished
almost five points clear of Emily Maneely riding Rosie
who had clear jumping in both phases.
The final result in the ‘B’ section came down to
the wire with the top two neck and neck all the way.
In the end the winner was decided by proximity to
optimum time which fell the way of Ian McCluggage
on his first outing with his five year old mare, Gold
Spirit. The runner up was Aine Clancy riding Claire
Brennan’s grey gelding, Keenaghan Commander.
Congratulations to all of the EI 80 competitors, the
majority of whom were making their eventing debut.
Northern Region would like to thank Alan and Muriel
Campbell, Chris and Kim for hosting the second
event this year. It’s always a pleasure to visit Dirraw
Farm and to experience the genuine hospitality.
Thanks, too, to all the helpers who never cease
to amaze the Committee with their dedication and
commitment to our sport.
We wish all our members who are competing
at Millstreet and Blair over the coming weekend
the very best of good luck and we look forward to
following their progress.
