Well done to all those who represented ECCTG at the BRC Horse Trials Championships this weekend!

The 80 team of Nicki Toomer (7th), Jules Humphreys-Peck (10th), Sue O’Leary and Jane Valentine – got four solid double clears to take 4th place as a team

The 100 team of Ashley Daniel (4th), Lauren Moss (5th), Hannah Barnett (6th) and Amanda Dakin also secured 4th place for the team after a very close contest. Hannah also won the award for closest to the optimum time; by dint of being bang on it!

Georgia Drummond rode for ECCTG on the Area 20 100+ team and jumped a great double clear to help them secure team 5th place too.

A fantastic weekend for all – well done!

Hog roast, bar (free drink on arrival), live music from local band Circus, dancing and partying! All to raise funds to support the team that won in Ireland last month as well as the many other ECCTG teams going to championships this year.

Tickets from committee members or via horsemonkey. All welcome – including non-horsey friends and family!

Congratulations to the jumping team of Abigail Unwin (Lunar Vision), Joakima Ashmore (Amandas), Ashley Daniel (Abba) and Amy Lennon (Gortmore Rosebud), who along with Chef d’Equipe Gwen Robinson and several support crew including driver Caroline Basnett, made their way to Ireland to represent ECCTG at the open class at the Irish riding club championships this weekend… and won!! Well done!

ECCTG’s show jumping chef as made sure the recent successes of the club are well publicised – singing the praises of the open team champions (off to Ireland next week – see above for details of forthcoming fundraiser) and the recently crowned winter novice show jumping champions! Go ECCTG! (A digital copy of this article is available via the publisher’s website, but given even ECCTG’s deputy webmaster struggled to read it on there, we suggest you zoom in to the picture!)
