RES Spring Show Series Set For Weekend
The final 2017 RES Spring Show Series competition gets underway this weekend — March 11th and 12th — at the grounds of a unique property.
“We are extremely grateful to the generous invitation of Mr. Ralph Terceira and family who have offered the use of Ocean View Farm, St. Mark’s Road, Smiths for the venue of the final RES Spring Show,” a spokesperson said.
“This beautiful property affords all competitors an opportunity to compete on grass and is especially timely given next month’s Ag Show to be held at the Botanical Gardens which also is a grass venue.
“Along with the regular hunter/jumper and equitation classes as well as the Hunt Club Classes, the RES show will also feature a special Pleasure Driving Open Single carriage class consisting of two- or four-wheeled vehicles capable of carrying a passenger and for the first time a carriage obstacle course which should prove to be exciting. The carriage events always proves to be a crowd pleaser as drivers show up with beautifully turned out vehicles.
