Dromore Breezes Through the Meadows

Dromore High School Show Jumping team came first in the second round of the Schools’ Open Show Jumping League at The Meadows Equestrian Centre, Lurgan on Saturday 20^th November.  The team consisted of Kirsten Farr riding Apollo, Christina Rosbotham on Moss Road Flyer and Shannon Clingan on My Show Man.  They finished on a zero score in a combined time of 83 seconds.  This was 3 seconds faster than second place.  Miss Kilpatrick, teacher in charge, was delighted as they are a very young team and they put in a fantastic display of quality jumping to fight off tough competition.  Hopefully this team will have many great competitions ahead of them.
