A TOTAL of 200 riders descended on the Fair City recently for a gruelling international horse racing event.
Presided over by the Scottish Endurance Riding Club, the three-day championships were held at Perth Racecourse late last month.
The flagship event, a 160km race held over two days, drew Irish rider Helen MacFarland and her mount, J St Jake, back to defend their 2009 title.
Despite a determined challenge from Highlander Lorna Templeton, on Redarn Connon, the pair claimed top honours once more.
In the one-day 120km race, Jill Calder and Khebir Shahir fended-off strong opposition to get their hands on the coveted silverware, as well as the title for ‘best condition’.
Results are as follows: Highland Challenge trophy (two-day 160km) – Helen MacFarland on J St Jake.
120km trophy – Jill Calder on Khebir Shahir.
Pasquill Trophy (two-day 120km) – Tony Comerford on Aratahnes Shantiye.
Drummond Trophy (80km) – Karen Shotton on Patchwork Polly.
Hamilton Cup (60km) – Donna Hemmings and Cumbria Sameh.
Dinero Cup (two-day 80km) – Iain Paterson and Tannasg Primo Dancer.
Veteran Horse Trophy – General George (Sheila Ogilvie).
AC Burns Cup (two-day 60km) – Tracey Johnstone on Bonnie.
