Last Thursday, the King’s Bruton Show Jumping Teams competed in the British Showjumping ‘Just for Schools‘ competition at the Royal Bath & West Show.
The team in the 80cm was Cressida B riding Misty, Natalie W riding Mini Man, Marcia K on Rhuby and Patrick D-R on April.
Patrick rode a brilliant clear round and achieved an individual 4th place, with the team being awarded 5th.
Patrick and Marcia rode the same ponies and Natalie changed horse and rode Cymonds Ollie in the 90cm class. Also riding in this class were Kitty W on Montana, Marcia on her second pony Kizzy and Millie T-C on Wizard.
Marcia and Kitty achieved a well deserved 4th and 6th individually and the team of Patrick, Marcia, Millie and Kitty were 2nd overall.
This team then went into the last class with the course now going up to 1m. With the team equal on points with Crispin, we missed out on 1st place due to a slower accumulative time, so had to be satisfied with another 2nd team achievement and Millie this time achieving a 4th individual place.
A great day at a prestigious event and lots of rosettes won!
