AUGUST SHOW REPORT
The Lavenham & district Equestrian clubs luck with good
weather at their events over the past two years finally ran out at
their August show at Melford Hall on Sunday. Despite the Heavy
thundery showers that plagued the show from mid morning Entries
kept coming in, an extra 102 horses arrived on the day on top of
the pre entered 70. This meant all five rings were kept busy
especially the show jumping ring that went on till 6.30pm, over 9
hours of solid competition.
There were some beautifully turned out and well ridden
combinations of horse & rider giving the judges quite a hard
time.
The winner of the Suffolk Free Press Trophy for the working cob
was won for the second year running by Kelly Cole on Sir Jim
Bob
As at the clubs other shows this season there was no run away
winner of the overall points championship with last years winner Jo
Davie and Gorwell Dancemaster just pipped to the post by Mollie
Geraghty on Sandcrest Tigers Eye.
The club ends their 2008 season at their show at Melford Hall on
Sunday 14th September, spectators are always welcome to
the clubs events.
