Spring Working Hunter Show on Saturday 4^th May at Gaitnip

Judged by Jean Gunn.  There was a good turnout as everyone was looking forward to being in the outdoor arena at Gaitnip, to jump some different fences, and to try to get a qualifying place at the final Blair to be held this August. Andrew Cole did a super job of designing the course and manning the gate, with Karen Greaves and Joyce Rendall stewarding, and Sharon Wylie organising and running the kitchen.  The club thanks everyone to helped or took part, to the sponsors Casey Construction and Northvet, and a special big thank you to Anjo and Paddy Casey for the venue and warm welcome.

It was a good day for sisters Jelena and Elin Scott who both picked up Working Hunter Championships.

WINTER WOOLIES 2023

A huge thank you to our judges Natalie Macdonald and Margaret Anderson for giving up their time to come to Orkney to judge. Also to Sara Duncan and Cooke Aquaculture Scotland for the sponsorship and to Swartland Self Catering for providing the judges accommodation.

Three Cheers to Vera, Rena and the RDA team for running such a super kitchen - you're all absolute stars.

Thank you to the Stewards for giving up their day, Joyce, Sharon, Gemma & Hellie, and to Caroline for being there to take all the super photos which are posted further down this page.

And of course to all the competitors who came to take part in the array of classes on offer.

The Results are posted below. We ran the show differently this year with just one section in at a time, which did mean for a slightly longer day ( it was an hour longer than last year) but meant there was an inside collecting area. If you have any comments or suggestions on this show, or any of our other events, please do get in touch.
