Spring Working Hunter Show and Clinic
https://www.orkneycommunities.co.uk/ridingclub/documents/2025-spring-wh-schedule.pdf
Our Spring Working Hunter Show will be held at Gaitnip Farm, St Ola, on Saturday 17th May - the Schedule / Entry can be found on the link above - which also contains a Booking Form for lessons with Karen Mowat on Sunday 18th May.
We are so very grateful to Casey Construction and Northvet for sponsoring the rosettes, and to the Casey Family for having us at their excellent facilities at Gaitnip, allowing us to use their fabulous working hunter fences, and to Paddy for providing extra parking spaces. Grateful also to the Orkney Dairy for agreeing to come along on the Saturday to provide the Catering, and of course to Karen Mowat for making the trip North to judge, and to coach the next day. We are so lucky that all these busy and well respected coaches and judges will take time out of their schedules to come to Orkney, so please support the events as much as you can.
Show Entries must be in by Wednesday 14th May, while names for the Sunday Clinic with Karen should be in no later than Tuesday 13th as rides will be done that evening - but bear in mind that the clinic may be full before the closing date, so don't leave it till the last minute.
You'll see on the Schedule we are hosting various Qualifiers for Scone and BSPS. Please read the notes carefully to check you are eligible. Orkney Riding Club accepts no responsibility for wrong entries.
The Qualifiers are incorporated into the height classes, which are open to everyone, so make sure you include all the required information on your entry including Rider Name (and age if under 18) / Horse Name and Height as classes with large entries will be split either horse/pony or senior/junior rider - so these details are important.
Also make sure to TICK each qualifier you want to do and include Q after the class number. Only those eligible can enter as a Q qualifier - the information is within the schedule.
Can those with Working Hunter Plates from last year please get them returned asap.
