Championships 2014
2014
Not such a great year at the champs this year for Area 10 with no podium finishes in the main events. However, performances of note were a clutch of 4th places in the Open Dressage for Gabby Bligh (Monmouthshire), Tilly Williams (Monmouthsire) and Kate Mills (Golden Valley). Tilly also came 6th in her arena in the Open eventing when the Monmouthshire team came 6th. The Monmouthshire Mounted Games team won the Tack & Turnout and came 5th in the HOYS qualifying final. The Llangeinor Branch did well in their first visit to the Championships on the polocrosse field, coming runners up in the Maiden Championships and a 6th and 4th in the Open classes. At the Novice Championships again we excelled in the dressage, with Madison Garland from the Glamorgan coming 5th in her arena and Jemima Griffiths from the Monmouth coming 6th. The Glamorgan team had a terrific result in coming 6th out of 40 teams.
Another fantastic year for Area 10 at the 2013 Championships with top three places across most of the disciplines, including the highly prized Horsemanship Award in the Open Show Jumping. Well done to all of you, not just for qualifying but really holding your own amongst the best in the Country. I was a very proud Area Rep, even if it did cost me a fortune in having to buy “Winners Drinks” in the evening! The highest places are listed below. Please send me any photos and I would love to insert them.
