What a fantastic day for East Sussex Pony Club! All the members were smartly dressed and showed the true meaning of team spirit. 

The day started of at 8.30am with the ESPC Open Team. The team consisted of Duncan Morgan, Tia Whiteman, Kiera Whiteman and Katie Hipkins. They all produced lovely tests to come second as a team qualifying for the Championships in August. As well as this excellent result they all had brilliant individual results: Duncan 3rd, Tia 8th, Kiera 4th and Katie 4th in their respective arenas.

They then went on to the Intermediate where Megan Bassett competed as an Individual and produced a very nice test to come 14th.

We then had our Novice Team made up of Kayleigh Sandell, Georgina Morgan, Ruby Norman and Evelyn Dzogan who all did lovely tests to come 5th out of 17 teams. As well as brilliant Individual results: Kayleigh 5th, Georgina 9th, Ruby 18th and Evelyn 1st qualifying for the Championships in August.

The day swiftly moved onto the Grassroots where we had two Teams and an Individual. Amy Newton represented East Sussex in the Individuals and produced a good test to come 18th.

Our first Team made up of Lily Hunt, Lily Hunt, Mathilda Kirkman and Calista Scott-Smith who worked well as a team with beautiful tests for their first experience competing at Area to come 9th.
