We hope everyone had a sensational weekend - the weather was fabulous and the combinations even more so!

At the conclusion of the show we have the exciting announcement of our Harmony Awards for the show. This was judged by our C judge across all tests, and was awarded to the horse and rider, and pony and rider who were judged as the most harmonious within their test.

These were awarded to:
Hack: Alisa Carter and Swahili PSH
Pony: Georgia Newton on Mr McLoud.

Huge congratulations! We will reach out via email over the coming days to get your stunning quarter sheets from HorseFit to you 🤩

We were also extremely fortunate to receive a Horseware Ireland “Crafty Pony” which was awarded to our youngest competitor of the show. This went to Hayley Smith.
