Qualifications at Area 18 Horse Trials!

Written by Vicky Collett - Area Team Manager

Well done to everyone who took part!

Like all eventing, it was full of good and not-so-good runs, which is why the highs are so high when everything comes together.

70cm Team - 2nd!

• Jennie (6th),

• Hannah (7th),

• Vicky and

• Chloe - a super debut for Chloe and Salad.

Individual qualifications for Jennie and Hannah for the Horse Events Champs at Dauntsey, with the team qualifying for Horse Trials Champs at Swalcliffe!

80cm Team - 5th

• Mary,

• Alice and

• Lizzie (8th) - well done to Lizzie; first time out this year and completing a storming round.

90cm Team - 4th

• Charlotte,

• Beth,

• Samantha,

• Sally - first time eventing since having her daughter straight in at 90 with a great round on her homebred, and

• Last but not least, well done to Charlotte and Smiley for having their first clear complete XC, with a marvellous race horse pace. These two have worked incredibly hard and have had some lows... They've really earned this. It's amazing to have been there to celebrate the culmination of all their hard work!

Thanks to our fab volunteers, Clare and Emily, and to our fab supporters, Sarah, Basil, Penny, Mandy, Team Hopkins, Sue and Lucy - Kirsty, you are a test calling Legend!

 And, thanks to Jennie, Beth's mum, for THE best carrot cupcakes!!
