Two Western Isles teams will represent Scotland in the national finals of the British Team Quest dressage championships.
Team Quest is a fast growing, popular new equestrian competition for riders of all ages and abilities.
Sometimes referred to as "horse ballet," dressage tests the skills of the rider with the horse smoothly carrying out a series of manoeuvres.
Normally there would be only one Scottish finals but the sport has grown so popular in the Western Isles so organisers have split the championship competition into two events. One was staged in Lewis and the other was held for mainland competitors in Lanarkshire.
The Neigh Chance team are the Scottish open event champions, sharing the title with a mainland squad. The team is made up of Emma Sinlair, Kayleigh Kennedy, Diane Morrison and Abby Jo Morrison.
