A large turnout of horses, ponies and riders of all ages and abilities enjoyed a lovely day in the sunshine to compete in showing classes and working hunter classes.
The Pamela McNeill Trophy went to Supreme Showing Champion Nadine Scott with Overwater Evolution along with a £50 Tarff Valley voucher kindly presented by the McNeill family, whilst Reserve went to Kara Torrance on Mount Juliet Echo.
The very busy working hunter ring went on late to find the Supreme WH Champion in Heather Vance and Miami Cruiser Boy, bred by her grandfather Hugh Patterson. Reserve went to Emily Forsyth visiting from Stewartry Pony Club and her veteran horse Meikle Jetsetter.
Wendy Miller-Smith, DC, provided updates and results from her sunny lookout while Christine McClymont, a past DC of Galloway Branch judged Tack & Turnout and young handler classes, assisted by daughter and past member, Catherine.
Most Popular
Zoe Hyslop of Maxwelltown Stud and Liz Boon from Lockerbie judged the other showing classes.
Working Hunter judges Nicky Morgan and Heather Forsyth stepped in at short notice after an organised judge was injured in a fall. They watched a big entry of competitors over Charlotte Armstrong’s fabulous technical course with scarecrows, bales of hay, shavings and shrubbery.
Emma McCornick came along to judge the fun dog show which raised £40 for Newton Stewart Day Centre.
A new fancy dress class proved to be very popular with younger riders and the spectators enjoyed it too. Very well done to everyone who took part, ponies, tack and riders were all gleaming.
Local businesses provided sponsorship which was much appreciated and helped to cover the running costs of the show.
Many thanks to Creebridge Vets Newton Stewart, Lloyd Ltd Dumfries, RG Contracting, Priory Vets Whithorn, 3b Construction, Merrick Training, Academy Vets Stranraer, Murray Farmcare, McClymont Electrical Newton Stewart, Ruth McGarry BHS Riding Instructor, John Patterson Farrier and Terally Equestrian Centre.
The ladies of Newton Stewart Rugby Club provided much needed refreshments throughout the day and were kept very busy.
Essential 1st aid cover was provided by volunteers Gary Huxtable and Isobel Torbet from Whithorn and thankfully they had a quiet day. Lots of help came from parents, friends and supporters of the club as well as members themselves who ran the office, manned gates, acted as stewards and runners, helped build the course and replaced fallen poles.
