Our up and coming jumping and eventing team is going from strength to strength, and we're going all out this year! With ambitions to have teams representing us at every qualifier, we find ourselves entering our first Horse Trials qualifier!! The team consisted of:
80cm Senior Team - AG Hendricks Milly Jones & Mill Nuez Tina Kavanagh & CVS Dixie Chick
Emelya King & Castilios Zilver Lining
90cm Senior Individual Kate Bouchier & Dexter's Calico Joe
80cm Junior Individual
Imi Bradbury & Siepke's Ilona
The day at Keysoe was forecast to be warm and sunny, and the weather certainly didn't disappoint! The glorious sunshine and warm weather certainly seemed to lift everyone's spirits.
Our riders certainly did us proud, with fabulous dressage scores, fantastic show jumping rounds (with a couple of unlucky poles) and every single one of them stormed the cross country!
Debuting for the club at this event were Emelya King and Imi Bradbury, who both finished the day with 4th, 3rd and 6th placings respectively. Well done girls!
Fellow team member, Nikki O'Neill, was an absolute gem and kindly offered to fence judge at the event - a massive thank you to Nikki!
Next up? Summer Dressage at Home Farm Alconbury on 7th July. More details for this to follow.
Summer Show Jumping at Glebe Farm on 21st July. More details for this to follow.
If you're interested in joining the jumping or dressage teams for future events, please contact one of the team managers (Sarah Legg for jumping, Lauren Hewett for Dressage) or email us at info@aspleyguiseridingclub.com
We're always happy to see our teams grow, Senior or Junior! And we'd really love to hear from some more Juniors who would be interested in representing our club at Area Qualifiers and Nationals.
