The first Lewis and Harris Riding Club Hunter trial took place at the weekend and was such a success that a second event is planned at the end of the month.
An area of Tong Farm on Lewis was transformed by owner Ronald Maclean and course builder Roddy Macdonald into a 2km cross country course for the event which has been lavished with praise and has been tipped to reignite equestrian sport on the island.
The going was perfect for horses and event organisers issued their huge thanks go to Tong farm for being so supportive to local riders.
Event organiser Kathleen Connor designed the course and organised the day, where fifteen competitors took part in the event. There were six classes that included both junior and senior riders. The course of sixteen jumps offered a range of challenges to horse and rider.
A spokesperson said: "We would like to offer a special thanks to all the volunteer jump judges and Kathleen Connor who made the competition run smoothly and safely.
"We would also like to thank Tong Farm Equestrian Centre for their support and commitment to equestrian sport. This event was a huge success and everyone had a great day.
A second Hunter trial is planned for the end of October.
