Area 12 Show Jumping Championships

A small but brave contingent travelled through high winds to the Area 12 Champs at BCA last weekend.

The day got off to a fabulous start in the 50cm Championships when Charlotte put in a speedy double clear to take an impressive 3rd place. Well done Charlotte! Isabelle was in hot pursuit, adding just 4 penalties in her second round for 4th place.

Next up in the 60cm our riders put in a strong showing with Cecily and Euan each adding 4 faults over the 2 rounds, to finish 5th and 6th, with Eleanor not far behind in 9th. The 60cm Open class was hotly contested but Florence riding the ever-young Crispin lead the way with a super speedy round to take the win, well done Flo! Charlotte was close behind with a double clear for 8th.

The final Championship class was the 70cm with the curse of 4 faults again striking Euan (in round 2) and this time Florence too (in round 1), although they finished a very respectable 7th and 8th. Cecily and Hugo were our representatives in the Open class, each just adding 8 faults.

Our final rider to finish the day was Hugo in the 80cm and he did it in style with a super win on lovely Molly. Well done Hugo!
