IT was a very busy weekend for staff at Alison Brown's Friars Hill Stables at Sinnington last weekend.

Saturday saw the annual showjumping and gymkhana in aid of the Friars Hill Riding for the Disabled Group.

There were lots of new faces and everyone seemed to have a lovely time.

Group instructor/organiser Sandra Thurlow would like to thank everyone who supported the show, from the cake bakers, sandwich makers, tea ladies, sponsors to raffle ticket sellers, competitors and stewards. The final amount raised has not yet been calculated, however it is expected to top £2,500.

The Christine Gamble Memorial Shield was awarded to the rider accumulating the most points in classes 2-16 and the 2015 winner of the shield was Jessica Mudd with her pony Grace.

Sunday saw another well attended day for the summer dressage and prix caprilli competitions with Hannah Cammish gaining a second in the prelim seven and then to go one better and win the prelim 12 on board Hilton. Susan Bell and Quest were the highest performers of the day for the prix caprilli, just keeping in front of Fiona Hardman and Robert.
