Hill Farm Show Report

Isis Dressage Hill Farm Show report held on the 10th & 11th October

A slow start with entries turned into a busy show at one of our most popular venues. On the Saturday we were blessed with beautiful weather which declined into drizzle on the Sunday. All of the classes were won by Isis members with the Windsor Qualifier won by one of our juniors, Jenny Lithgow, and another junior, Jessie Warner, winning a big Class 2 Rest.

Our grateful thanks go to Mr & Mrs Jeffrey for letting us use the Hill Farm facilities once again, to our 4 judges who cheerfully worked their way through some big classes and to Terri’s catering who supplied us with all our needs on the Saturday. I would also like to thank the following for their help without whom we could not run these shows: Hala Bentley and her wonderful team of Richard and Ricardo, Jill Smith, Caroline Hollier, Jane Higgins (who stepped into the breach when I was in panic mode on the Friday!), Pam Walker, Madeleine Uren and Joan Bell.
