£1187.92 for the Horse Trust

A new twist on the best turned out awards was an overall championship in the evening which went to Lucy Aldred on the immaculate black Dartmoor Dykes Country Mead. Lucy also had wins in the handler class, equitation and junior small breeds. Alexandra Parry with Bayford Dorabella has been taking tips from her dad Adam and secured a win in the under 8 years section of the handler classes, before going on to take the overall handler championship. A number of new combinations for this season had wins throughout the day; Emily Webster with Paddock Perdita winner of the M & M First Ridden; Steven Sharples with Lady of the Valley winner of the Novice Hunter. Kevin Lee on the novice Connemara Richmond Hill secured the Novice M & M Ridden and then on to take the overall Novice Championship in the evening.
