THE Barrow Valley Riding Club Summer Show was hosted at Carrigbeg Riding Stables, by kind permission of Susan Patterson, last Sunday with 43 dressage and 50 show jumping competitors. John O’Dwyer (Thomastown) took on the first centre line of the day, riding My Oscar Wild to a third-place finish as the top two placings for the RC P1 class went to the host club’s own members. First spot went to Jacqueline Kellet-Bevan, riding Macroney Sue, on a score of 69.81% to secure the lead over Amanda Sheehan and Ballyteague Girl, on their debut competition, in second place.

The RCP1 Open turned out to be a head-to-head between Barrow Valley and Horetown. Jacqueline Kellet-Bevan’s winning form continued as she claimed her second red of the day, leaving Elaine Howlin riding My Blessington Lucky Clover in second place.
