Ecclesville’s Christmas Cracker Show was a great event with competitors coming from far and wide to jump Raymond Caldwell’s courses! The competitors got into the festive spirit and turned out in an array of festive costumes and tinsel!
The Fancy Dress parade, sponsored by RD Equestrian, was a brilliant display of Santa’s, Christmas Angel, Christmas jumpers and ponies adorned with tinsel, bells and lights!
The enthusiastic spectators were entertained with great jump-offs and also a fun novelty class. Eleven very competitive pairs took on the popular Run and Ride Pairs competition, this year it was won by Amy McKevlin running and her sister Kim riding the very speedy Jessie.
In the very popular Open Classes, Poppy Coulter won the 60cm class on the very nifty Skittles! Amy McKevlin was back in the winning position riding her lovely horse Ria as they won the 80cm class. The 90cm first place rosette went to Shauna Murray and Ritz with who posted the only fault free round in this class!
The Show organisers are grateful to RD Equestrian for sponsoring the Fancy Dress parade of this very popular Show. Also thanks to Raymond Caldwell and his team for the great courses.
Organisers would like to thank all the competitors for the continued support for their Showjumping Leagues and Shows in 2024. We look forward to seeing everyone in 2025 when the first of the Leagues will commence on Friday 3 January at 6.15pm. This League will be the first opportunity to win Super League points for 2025! They wish everyone a Happy New Year!
