..AREA EVENTING RESULTS 2019

This year the Area Eventing was held at Alnwick Ford, hosted/run by Morpeth, North Northumberland and Newcastle & North Durham Branches who ran a very well organised and successful event for us all.  Thank you also to the helpers from our own branch who spent their day jump judging and helping out behind the scenes.  Without these people giving up their time the rest of us would not have had a competition to take part in.  Also thanks to Ashley Suddes and Barbie Clarkson for time spent training teams.

We had an extremely successful day with our members, some of whom had had a very quick change from Zone Games on Saturday in Scotland to get to the Eventing with different horses on Sunday morning.  As can always be predicted, we ended up with some members being unable to take part at the last minute through illness, injury or horse problems, they all have our utmost sympathy as it is a bitter blow to have trained and been selected to take part and then be unable to be there on the day.

NOVICE 90

Our two Novice teams were both placed and one is off to The Championships.  There were many novice individual placings too.

ZONE GAMES

Well the South Northumberland Games crew did us proud at the Pony Club Mounted Games Zones Final in Scotland.

Seniors were up first, the As came 8th and Qualified for the Pony Club Championships and the Bs came 12th. I’d like to make a special mention to Milles Dacosta Evans who rode at Zones in her first games competition after only 3 intense training sessions. Millie you were fab and an asset to the team well done!

Juniors were next and started with a fabulous win in the tack and turnout. Our team was not only the cleanest but the politest team at the Zone final which we all need to be very proud of.

Juniors came 4th and also qualified for Pony Club Championships.

Pairs round off the day in what can only be described as the most fast and furious competition I’ve seen in a while. The competition was dominated by exceptionally good Scottish teams with all Area 2 teams clustered together in the final placing. Our pair rode very well and came 10th.

The members that will represent our club in PC Games at the Pony Club Championships this August are:

Seniors: Ella Pigg, Jemima Stewart, Sally Dent, Tessa Stephenson, Ava Marsden and Connie Henderson.

Juniors: Nancy Pigg, Sarah Willey, Megan Fort, Charlie Bailey and Bea Stephenson.

Well done all from a very proud Lisa Quinn.x
