JUMPING was the name of the game at Lisgarvan last Sunday, where both the show jumping and cross-country proved significantly influential. Clear rounds were paramount in both disciplines and, while the tracks were strong, they were certainly fair for the time of year and the underfoot conditions were superb.

With the national championships on the horizon, the team at Lisgarvan had stepped in to replace the meeting at Frankfort, and had done a fantastic job. Horses and riders appreciated the galloping tracks, as well as the use of the international jumping ring, and spacious and warm up areas.
