A round up of equestrian news from over half-term...

Anouska has been competing in the British Showjumping Schools League and is currently 3^rd in the 80cm class and 1^st in the 90cm.

Luli is currently leading the league in the 110cm class.

Anouska and Luli both won their classes last Sunday and are now leading their leagues.

Anouska 1^st 80cm and 90cm

Luli 1^st 110cm.

Emily was selected to attend a two day British Eventing Training Camp with both of her BE ponies. This is training for those riders aiming to compete in the FEI Pony Trials next season, aiming for a place on the BE Team.

We entered 7 riders into the prestigious Pontispool Eventers Challenge competition over half term, which is a highly competitive event with the top combinations qualifying for a finals in Hickstead later in the year.

Lilah, having had a disappointment in the 80cm class, went on to place 2^nd in the 90cm, gaining a qualification to Hickstead. Emily finished 8^th individually and their team, with Marcia and Anna finishing 3^rd. The other team, consisting of Anna and Marcia on their second ponies, with Sophie and Patrick, finished 4^th as a team.

In the very challenging 1m class, there were a lot of eliminations throughout the event. Emily was leading the field until the last 3 riders and finished a very respectable 3^rd, again qualifying for Hickstead finals. Marcia finished 13^th and Anna 22^nd.

Lots of the riders also competed for their Pony Clubs and in individual events over half term.
