The horse and pony sections of Pickering game fair which was held at Sinnington had luck on their side this year with a heat wave pulling in the crowds from far and wide.

The show jumping classes drew the crowds to the ring side with classes from 50cms to 95cms along with the nail biting puissance, which is a wall that is built higher after each round of competitors manages to leave all the bricks in place. Andrew Morgan and his mount, Jessica Rabbit, rose through the heights with the contenders getting less and less until they were the only pair to leave it standing at an incredible 1m and 45cms.

Fiona Hardman and Buster took the first two classes of 50cms and 65cms, the pair finished clear in the first rounds and then turning on the pressure for the jump offs, they hot footed round in very quick and clear times.

Anna Wood and her mount TJ set the pace in the 85 and 95cms with fast and furious double clears with Alice Smith and Daisy hot on their heels but not quite quick enough on the occasion to catch the winning pair.

Results as follows:

50cms – 1 Fiona Hardman & Buster, 2 Matthew Grayson & Breeze, 3 Autumn Dallison & Shaun, 4 Emily Hamilton & Willow.

65cms – 1 Fiona Hardman & Buster, 2 Danielle Bushby & Highlands JD, 3 Ruby Thompson & Crispin, 4 Matthew Grayson & Breeze.
