Equestrian success over half-term

Over the half-term holiday, our King's Bruton riders were out competing...

Anouska went to the National NSEA  Show Jumping Championships at Keysoe. She competed in both the 90cm and 1m classes, and did a very fast time in the 1m, but unfortunately, had a fence down to take her out of the placings. She rode a double clear in the 90cm, but was just outside the top 8 to go into the final. A fantastic performance by Anouska.

Later in the week, both Anouska and Lilah went to Dorset Showground for British Show Jumping, with Anouska winning both the 90cm and 1m classes, which are also qualifiers! Lilah entered the Just For Schools classes, and won both the 90cm and 1m. Well done to them both.

Emily has been competing her new pony, alongside Bas in the U18 Open Novice classes at BE. She came 1^st and 4^th in the U18 section at Bovington and 10^th and 15^th in her final event at Aston le Walls last week.

Marcia also won her class at Bovington in the U18 1m class, which is a fantastic achievement.

Best of luck to the riders heading to Pontispool for the Eventers Challenge Competition this weekend, and those going to West Wilts the following weekend for the show jumping.
