The second of our show jumping shows for this season was held on Sunday 23rd<\/sup> May. The weather was going to be a little temperamental, but it was not going to deter any of our competitors. As always it was lovely to see regular faces, as well as new ones coming to compete with us for the first time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With Covid-19 restrictions now being eased, it was nice to have a few spectators coming to support their friends and family again. All entries remain being made online, and so all our competitors are allocated a jumping time for each of their rounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Our new Speedgate branded show jump made it\u2019s debut appearance, and it certainly did keep a few of our combinations on their toes!<\/p>\n\n\n\n The first class of the day was the Mini class and our first combination to go was Kristi Hayhurst and her lovely mare Lakota. This combination produced the first double clear of the day and did enough to be our first winners of the day. Double clears were also achieved by Aimme Doutch and Mae Phillips in this class.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mini Class<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n 1st<\/sup> Kristi Hayhurst and Lakota<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2nd<\/sup> Aimee Doutch and Med Night Dakota<\/p>\n\n\n\n 3rd<\/sup> Mae Phillips and Lola<\/p>\n\n\n\n 4th<\/sup> Lauren Bennett and Claramore First Prince<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Novice class was the second class of the day to get underway. The first of our double clears came from a new combination to compete with us. Hanna Taylor and her lovely Moyralla Dancer executed a lovely round and did enough to be deserving winners. Anna Marie Jeffrey also achieved a double clear in this class.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Novice Class<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n 1st<\/sup> Hanna Taylor and Moyralla Dancer<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2nd<\/sup> Anna Marie Jeffrey and Quidditch de Louzes<\/p>\n\n\n\n 3rd<\/sup> Aimee Simmonds and Keelogs Boy<\/p>\n\n\n\n With three more classes to go, we got the Intermediate class started and our first double clear was produced by Emily Mcdowell and Coolodge Sonny. This pairing had to now sit and wait for the class to complete before they knew that they had done enough to take the third victory of the day. Our other double clear was produced by Anna Marie Jeffrey, who with Quidditch de Louzes took their second placing of the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Intermediate Class<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n 1st<\/sup> Emily Mcdowell and Coolodge Sonny<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2nd<\/sup> Anna Marie Jeffrey and Quidditch de Louzes<\/p>\n\n\n\n 3rd<\/sup> Paige Paskell and Ruperts Ready<\/p>\n\n\n\n 4th<\/sup> Hilary Fox and Broadriver Artemis<\/p>\n\n\n\n Both Open classes were sadly not as well subscribed. In the Small Open the only double clear was from Paige Paskell and Ruperts Ready, so becoming our winners. In the Open class, Sophie unfortunately had the second to last fence down in the jump off, to finish on four faults.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Small Open<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n 1st<\/sup> Paige Paskell and Ruperts eady<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2nd<\/sup> Sophie Simmonds and Melrose Silver<\/p>\n\n\n\n Open Class<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n 1st<\/sup> Sophie Simmonds and Melrose Silver<\/p>\n\n\n\n
