80+ Show Jumping Season Round-up

80+ Show Jumping Season Round-up

It has been a relief to be able to start clinics and competitions again and this has led to a busy year for our Senior Show Jumpers. We have held lots of clinics with fantastic instructors, including Judy Piper-Dadswell at her fabulous facility at Starnash Farm, we had some great training from Penny Sangster at Crockstead Equestrian Centre and a brilliant day with Sam Penn, who taught nearly all day long. A fantastic variety to give all our members jumping at 80 and above access to some really experienced instructors!

A good number of our members have also been out representing East Sussex Pony Club at local branch competitions, Area and Regional Championships.

Area:
80 Teams:
Evelyn Dzogan, Meg Lillicrap, Lula Izaac, Coco Izaac
Daisy Burgess, Jessica Perry, Lilli Lewis, Beatrice Crawford

All competitors had a great day, Ruby Norman had a fantastic double clear in the 90 and Meg, Daisy, Jess, Lilli and Bea all qualified for the Regional Championships.

SDHEPC Show Jumping Competition
More recently we also had two fantastic wins at the South Down Hunt East Pony Club’s Show Jumping competition at Golden Cross. Meg Lillicrap, on her brand new pony, Poppy Hunt and Evelyn Dzogan won the 80 Class and Daisy Burgess, Lily Hunt, Hebe Warren and Darcey Byrne won the 90 class.

It is wonderful to see so many of our more senior members involved with everything the show jumping discipline has to offer. 

As Training Organiser it is a privilege to watch our members progress with their ponies, to develop relationships with their fellow members and to have fun together. It was fantastic to have the opportunity to attend the regional finals, and all our members tried their hardest, overcame fears and setbacks and although we were not in the placings this year, everyone had fun and wonderful memories were made.
