Indoor Novice Show Jumping Qualifier
Our wonderful showjumpers have once more put in 1st class performances at the recent indoor qualifier – a strong competition with 24 teams in all.
We sent 2 teams and both went really well. The Red Team of Sally Filby, Juliet Foden, Sally Vickers and Nicky Toomer (with Dave) had the odd fence down which put them just outside the rosettes, although Nicki’s double clear put her 6th individually – well done!
The Blue Team of Nicki (this time on Thomas), Libby Richards, Nicky Phillips and Sue O’Leary, finished on zero and contested a 4 way jump off. It was very close but with all four going clear again they won by just over a second to qualify for the Championships at Hartpury.
Yet more evidence of just how much fun team show jumping can be and we want more of you to join us!!!!!!

Area 20 Show jumping & National Championships
Area 20
Our wonderful showjumpers were once more in good form at the area qualifier.
The Novice teams were first and sixth so we had a team heading for the National Championships at Lincoln, the only team to finish on zero!!!
The Intermediate’s all jumped really well and only just missed out on qualification, with two of the teams placed third and sixth. Ashley Daniels jumped three super clears to finish second individually missing qualification by fractions. Well done!!
We sadly failed to produce an Open team again but Emily Barnes was superb in winning theindividual title but unluckily had to later withdraw from the championships.
The Style jumpers were brilliant, finishing second, only a few points behind the winners. Helen Graham and Libby Richards were second and sixth individually.
All in all we had a very good day with hardly anyone going home without at least one rosette!!!
National Champonships – Lincoln
Our Novice team of Nicky Toomer, Sally Filby, Sally Vickers and Libby Richards performed well but sadly were not in contention. However, Libby Richards and Holly were amazing!! Three fabulous clears put her seventh individually out of a a total of one hundred and seventeen. Not bad eh!!
Lincoln National Dressage Championships 2013
Tyler Cassells riding Mr Ian Black’s Ricky Ramiro was our individual Open Dressage entry. They were 1st in the Arena by a margin of 13 points, but unfortunately, when all the arenas were averaged out, missed out on the overall championship by just 0.05 of a mark!
Nicky Toomer had qualified in the Novice Dressage, but was unable to go as “April” had knocked herself a few days previously.
