Riding Clubs Indoor Championships at Portmore.
N.I. Riding Clubs held their Annual Mixed Team Championships at Portmore
International Equestrian Centre, Glenavy where a record 33 teams was entered.
Organiser Betty Gaston would like to thank all the stewards, starters,
arena parties and all the helpers on the day for contributing to the running
of a very successful day. Thanks also to Judges M/s Fidelma Carroll, Mrs
Maureen Lowry and Mrs Pauline Turner who gave up their day to judge the
Championships.
Course Builder Ray Buchanan designed a course, which allowed many clear round spread over many teams. Seven teams with a zero score reached the jump off which proved to be very exciting and saw Kilkeel take 1st and 2nd places greatly helped by their fast ponies against the clock with Lagan Valley 3rd taking the top place for four seniors and four horses.
