The Dabbs International Arena near Ladybank staged a major show-jumping charity extravaganza at the weekend as the Meningitis Research Foundation held an unaffiliated event.

The competition was open to horses and ponies, and other attractions included a fancy dress competition, tombola, bouncy castle and a grand prize draw.

All proceeds will go towards the prevention, detection and treatment of meningitis and septicaemia.

The Meningitis Research Foundation operates a freefone 24-hour helpline on 08088 003344.

This provides information on meningitis and septicaemia to the general public and health professionals.
