There was a high success rate as only 3 out of 8 failed the Care and 4 out of 14 failed the Riding.

All riders were very well turned out so well done.

A Huge Thank You …

… to the Branches who have organised our Area Eventing;

  • Geoff and his super efficient team from East Cheshire
  • our Area 5 Show Jumping, Chris Kirby
  • Cheshire Hunt South and Liz Boothroyd
  • Waen y LLyn and their working parties.

I cannot mention everybody but so many people gave up their whole day for these competitions (and days before too) and without them the competitions could not go ahead.

Both Area qualifiers ran without a hitch at two super venues, Somerford and Bolesworth. Both were showcases for how events should be organised as was the Area Dressage at Somerford earlier.
