Performance Horses have a profitable final at Gransha

GRANSHA Equestrian Centre, Bangor hosted the Equine Awards NI Performance Horse Final on May 1. The series was very profitable for the finalists, with a £4,000 prize fund! The judges for the final, Mark Robinson, Joanne Jarden and Lucy Adams, were delighted with the quality of the horses and the spectators enjoyed excellent jumping over the interesting course.

It was evident that the series had benefited the horses, as the courses had increased in their technicality through the five qualifying rounds.

Many thanks must go to Ann King of Equine Awards NI for the generous sponsorship.
