THE penultimate showjumping competition of the current series took place at Friars Hill Stables.

The first class of the evening was jumped as a clear round, followed by a jump-off, while the remaining classes were jumped two-phase to beat the fading daylight.

These competitions are great for nervous riders and riders with young horses as they provide support and encouragement in a fun environment.

The final competition in this series will take place on Wednesday, August 4, while the Friars Hill Annual Show Jumping & Gymkhana takes place on Saturday. The results were as follows:
