***SHOW JUMPING AND DRESSAGE SUCCESS AT VAHPC SHOW***
We had several members competing yesterday at the VAH PC show at Bury Farm in both dressage and showjumping.

Dressage – Charlotte Tuckwell, Mimo Sandford, Kathy Williams qualified for Dengie Intermediate regional final (Georgia Vella narrowly missing out by only one place).

– Lucy Brett-Chinnery gave a very good performance in the Dengie Novice.

Showjumping – Katie Millward jumped the 60cm and 70cm and is definitely one to watch on her new pony.

– Cian Greene was on flying form in the 80cm, one of the quickest rounds, but even the amazing Barney couldn’t quite make the very ambitious jump off turn.

– Georgia Voisey is back on Hannah and in the 70cm showed determination over a very strong course.

– in the 90cm, Lucy and Georgia Vella had just 4 faults apiece and Jess Fallon jumped a great double clear.

– Kathy Williams won the 1m with one of only 2 double clears, and although not clear, Jess and Mimo both showed that they are more than capable at this height with more to come as the season progresses.
