BANBRIDGE Show produced another brilliant weekend of show jumping at The Meadows Equestrian Centre, with two arenas in operation on each of the two days last Saturday and Sunday. The Charity Show, organised by the Iveagh Show jumpers, has been in existence for many years and has raised thousands of pounds for local charities.
The premier event of the show was the 1.35m Electro-Tech/ Ulster Region Grand Prix, which had over 30 starters for the fourth leg. Colm Quinn, assisted by Dereck Gillen, built a very cleverly demanding track, which incorporated many technical questions. This produced six clear first rounds, three of which continued unfaultingly in round two, where time was clearly of the essence.
The very worthy winner was Shannon Robinson riding her mother’s 12-year-old ‘Diarado’ bred mare, ‘Chardonnay’, who rode the round of her life, taking every conceivable turn with ease. She finished over one second clear of her nearest rival, Jonathan Smyth on Ann Doherty’s eight-year-old ‘Lux Z’ gelding, ‘Crystal Graf’.
Sunday saw two arenas in action all day, with large entries in the pony classes.
Arena 2, which hosted all the 128 and half of the 138 classes, had some fantastic speed rounds, with plenty of parental support throughout.
Meantime, Arena 1 catered for the 148 classes and half of the 138 classes where, again, standards were very high.
Ray Buchanan, Show Director and Chairman of Iveagh Show jumpers, paid tribute to everyone who played a part in the huge success of the Show. This includes sponsors, judges, starters, course designers, arena party and secretarial staff, as well as the McCusker family for the use of their first class facilities.
Banbridge Show has grown from strength to strength, raising very valuable funds for local charities, the beneficiaries of which will be announced shortly.
