Whaddon Chase Show Jumping Report

What better way to spend Halloween than at the Whaddon Chase Spooktacular show! We had some fabulous Flamstead representation this weekend and some brilliant rounds. Read on to find out more!

Our first team was in the 60cm, sadly Cecily was struck down by an evil bug but super fast rounds from Charlotte and Euan put the team in a great position. Charlotte then kindly lent the awesome Nakita to Euan to fill the final team slot for the team to top the podium! Individual placings of 1st (Euan), 5th (Charlotte) and 7th (Euan) were well deserved.

Next on we had two individuals in the 70cm, an unlucky 4 faults for Euan kept him out of the placings whilst Maisie used the round as a learning opportunity for her inexperienced pony.

The 80cm saw Flamstead back to the top of the podium with a fabulous win for our team of Chloe, Florence, Jess and Maisie and individual 3rd (Chloe), 5th (Florence) and 9th (Jess).

On to the 90cm and a fantastic team 2nd for Florence, Jess and Penny. Penny was also the fastest of our Flamstead clear rounds in 6th and it is great to see her lovely mare on such good form. Florence was close behind in 9th with the fastest 4 fault round.

Moving on to the 1m and 1:10 and it is so special to be able to field so many riders at these heights. Congratulations to our winning 1m team of Josie, Penny, Amy and Jess. Penny again was our fastest clear for 4th place with Amy (6th) and Josie (7th) on speedy 4 fault rounds. Ending the day for Flamstead was Jose on the super Beano, finishing 2nd in the 1:10(H) and Amy with lovely Larry winning the 1:10(P).

Such an exciting start to the winter indoor show jumping season. We are looking forward to lots more shows, cheesy chips and fun over the coming weeks. If anyone would like to be involved in Flamstead show jumping please just drop Rosie or Juliet a message, or join our SJ WhatsApp group.
