Video & Results: RES Equestrian Spring Series
This past weekend — at the beautiful Ocean View Farm in Smiths where the event was held by kind permission of Ralph Terceira and family — the 2017 RES Spring Series Finale took place.
The RES Spring Series has grown in popularity with both competitors evidenced by record show entries and hundreds of spectators.

The event was billed as the pre-event for the Agricultural Exhibition which takes place next month on a grass venue at the Botanical Gardens.
There were almost a dozen carriage entries which were beautifully turned out together with the most entries in a lead line division to be shown in a long time.
The lead line event is open to junior competitors who will not have reached their eighth birthday by September 1st and always proves to be a delight to the crowd to watch the young ones most of which are competing for the first time.
