EIGHTH WEEK OF THE AUTUMN/WINTER SHOW JUMPING LEAGUE Cork

EIGHTH WEEK OF THE AUTUMN/WINTER SHOW JUMPING LEAGUE

What a day of jumping we had today for the eighth week of our show jumping league. The sun shone all day and kept everyone in good form for the day. The newcomer class proved a little difficult today with none of our riders achieving that coveted double clear round. The 50cms class seemed to ride better giving us three double clear rounds from ‘Bronagh Bolger’ on ‘Sharpay’, ‘Anne Horgan’ riding ‘And Ivory’ and a newcomer to the league ‘Cliona Kearney’ with her own ‘Tick Tock’.

The 60cms had the top three in the leader board fighting hard for points and they left nothing to chance, with all three achieving double clears thus receiving 5 points each in the league and making no change to the leader board. ‘Leah Howard’ and ‘Dunnyfort five’ hold onto first place, 3 points ahead of ‘Lauryn Power’ and ‘Yogi Bear’. While little ‘Cliodhna Browne’ is only 1 point below Lauryn in third place.

The 70cms class proved to be a very difficult course with only one rider getting a double clear round. Well done to ‘Lauryn Power’ and ‘Yogi Bear’ for a copy book double clear. The 70cms class wasn’t the only one to catch the riders today as there was no double clear in the 80cms. All riders were able to get that one round clear but just could not achieve that second clear round.

There was a huge turnout for the 90cms class and two of the competitors rode foot perfect rounds to gain their five points towards the league final – ‘Roisin O Driscoll’ riding her own ‘Glanduff Holly’ and ‘Kate Mulcahy’ riding ‘Rumple Stil Skin’.
