These worthy champions also took home ribbons, sashes and the excellent prizes provided by Nixon Equine of a numnah and an equinalysis. A very close second was the junior rider Tija Cowie on her mount Kenmare Tobia on 70%. Well done to both these riders. This was a tightly fought contest with ties in 4th and 9th places. Jane Nixon & Stuart Hastie of Nixon Equine attended the prize giving.

Lisa rode early in the class and sat on tenterhooks thereafter but maintained the lead to the end. Kirsty Farren & Tija Cowie winners in the prelim championships were both kept at bay to take 2nd & 3rd respectively. Prizees were presented by Jane Nixon & Stuart Hastie to the delight of the winners.
