EIGHTEEN riders competed in a fun event organised by Pole Moor Riding Club.

Competitors paired up with one horse and raced round a three-mile set route at Pole Moor.

Alternatively riding and running to each checkpoint, they raced along lanes and tracks.

Club chairman Pat Jones planned the route and set the pairs and their horse off at five-minute intervals.

The results were real family team-work.

First home in 34 minutes were mother and daughter Christine Hope and Kathryn Eastwood, who are seen with their horse, Patrick.

Husband and wife Christopher and Sharon Holmes and horse Blue Denim were equal second with grand-daughter and grandmother Charlie Holmes and Maz Bradley with Cara.
