Area 5 Mounted Games Success at Malpas<\/h4>\n

On 2nd May, our riders headed to Malpas\u00a0to compete at the Area 5 Mounted Games, and what a fantastic day of sport it turned out to be.<\/p>\n

Our Junior team\u00a0rode superbly throughout the competition. The team was made up of Elis Roberts, Alys Evans, Megan Evans, Anni Morgan and Lyla Leevey, and they showed great teamwork, determination and skill.<\/p>\n

After an exciting day of competition, the Junior team finished in 2nd place, an excellent achievement that has earned them qualification for the Zones in Leicestershire this July. This is a huge milestone for the riders, and a reward for all their hard work, practice and commitment.<\/p>\n

We also had a great performance in the Pairs\u00a0competition from Helen Jones and Catrin Morgan. They rode beautifully and finished in 3rd place, just narrowly missing out on 2nd after a tense run-off.<\/p>\n

Although they missed automatic qualification by the smallest of margins, we are hopeful they will receive a wild card place for the Zones, which would be thoroughly deserved after such a strong performance.<\/p>\n

A huge congratulations to all of our riders for riding so brilliantly and representing the Flint & Denbigh branch so well. Days like this are a reminder of the talent, dedication and sportsmanship within our Mounted Games community.<\/p>\n

A special thank you must also go to Joe, whose dedication and support play such an important role behind the scenes. His commitment does not go unnoticed and makes a real difference to the success of our riders.<\/p>\n

We now look ahead with excitement and pride as we prepare for the Zones later this summer \u2014 well done everyone!<\/p>\n
