As the sun sets on the 2019 @FairfaxFavor Rockingham International Horse Trials, we’d like to thank everyone that has joined us & been part of the event this year. It has been a fantastic three days of competition & we look forward to welcoming you all back next year. #FFRIHT

Our @loomes_robert watch winner is… @attington! It was about as close as it could be though, as both @Piggy_French & Austin both stopped the clock at one second under the optimum time. It went down to show jumping times, where Austin & Colorado Blue were just that bit quicker.

[RockinghamLive @RockinghamLIVE]

It's @loomes_robert Championship time here at Rockingham! Worth nearly £9,000, the watch is awarded to the rider closest to the optimum time on the XC in the AI or OI classes. We are yet to have a woman take the prize, so can @Piggy_French win one for the girls? #FFRIHT

[RockinghamLive @RockinghamLIVE]

@Piggy_French brought a whole new meaning to the phrase ‘fill your boots’, when her three victories in the international classes here yesterday meant she took home three pairs of gorgeous footwear from our title sponsor, @FairfaxFavor
