HICKSTEAD: We couldn’t be prouder of our AVPC showjumpers

In the 70cm we had the Ashford Valley Valiant Team consisting of Amelia and new members Amalie and Sophia. All were amazing- Amelia came a brilliant 4th individually in a huge class, Amalie who has two fabulous ponies rolled poles in the first round but had two fabulous clears in the 2nd rounds. Sophia has a new pony and is new to this height rode two great rounds. Jess rode her young horse Parsnip in the 70+ at his first big show and he coped with it all really well and did exceptionally well to come 3rd individually.

In the 80, we had Millie and Jess in the Mixed Nuts team. Millie’s young horse rolled some poles but there were lots of positives and plenty for her to work on. Jess and Mouse had a great first round, but he wasn’t keen on the big wall in the second round.

In 90cm we had Red competing on her brilliant young horse Ginny, they were the first ones in the class and got one time fault in the 1st round, she certainly didn’t let that happen in the 2nd and had the quickest round!

Another speedy combination was Laura riding Sharon’s homebred Rosie in the 1m. They had a lovely clear in the 1st round and they too were the fastest in the 2nd round but knocked a pole to come a brilliant 4th individually.

So a huge congratulations to Amelia, Jess, Red and Laura for your qualifications for Champs. Good luck!!!

Our next Showjumping show will be SDWHPC show at Hickstead on the 2nd August. It has classes from X poles upwards and is super fun and I’d love a big AVPC turnout!!! Please contact Hannah our Show Jumping Manager or message on the Show Jumping WhatApp Group to organise team spaces.
