The morning classes started with Jelly Tots jumping for those on and just off the lead rein. The fences were all very inviting and not a single pole came down, with the class won by Bertie MacKedrick and his speedy Shetland, Jolly.

In the showing ring Rory Leggett got off to a flying start with his pony Bobby. Not only did he win the pony club/riding club pony he also went win the pairs jumping with his brother Ivan on his pony Tatty, and came second to Ivan in the local jumping.

For all his hard work Rory received a voucher for one year’s membership to Arundel and District Riding Club as well as a free treatment kindly donated by Contented Creatures.

The classes in the afternoon where all enjoyed by all that took part, with the prettiest mare going to four-year-old Abigail Parks and Leafycroft Royal Angharad who have only been together for less than a month.Abigail also took home the prize for best mane and tail and a bottle of mane and tail conditioner to keep those lovely locks in order.

The Mountain and Moorland class was won by Lauren Faulkner and the lovely palomino section A, Ciliane Goldie. Goldie also won the Best Fancy Dress with owner Alisha Howard on board.

Thanks must go to the judges Jenny Straw, Rebecca Grantham, Donna and Robina Luck and sponsors SPR Centre, Margaret Rogers Repairs, NLP Animal Services, Brent Slade Farriery, Needham building services, D Faulkner Suspension springs, and of course Renaissance Rosettes who again did an outstanding job with the rosettes.LRG Photography also sponsored three classes and took picures which can be seen at www.lrgphotography.co.uk
