Black Isle Show

Caithness riders did well at today's Black Isle Show. The show had over 500 horse entries. The supreme horse champion went to Stemster Millennium Bug owned by Lisa & Caroline Coghill and ridden today by Caroline (1st & 2nd pic). Caroline had to rush off at 6pm as she had to go to work - so no champagne!  It is the first time the Coghill family has won the Black Isle supreme.

In the ridden horse championship, 4 of the 7 riders were from Caithness. Caroline, Lisa on Diamond Geezer, Ruth Sutherland on The Puzzlemaster & Caitlin Bissett on our pony Eddiston May-Bee.  Lisa & Caroline swept the boards in the Arab and ridden horse sections.  Ruth won lots in the coloured sections and Caitlin won the Working Hunter pony championship. Sarah-Jane Ross was also in the ridden championship with Troy after winning the WH Horse championship.

There were lots of class winners from Caithness and it shows the very high standard in the County.

The weather was great for a change.  Very warm with lots of sunny spells.  There was only one shower around 4.30pm.
