ÐÔÊÀ½ç´«Ã½

On Sunday, 10^th of December, ÐÔÊÀ½ç´«Ã½ students braved the wind and rain at Coombelands Equestrian for their final NSEA show of the year. All the classes at this show were qualifiers for the NSEA final at Hickstead Showground in May. Students were jumping a course of both showjumps and more natural obstacles, with the winners being those clear and closest to the optimum time.

ÐÔÊÀ½ç´«Ã½ put forward riders to every class on the day and had amazing results. Millie S was 4^th in the 70cm with a clear, which qualifies her as an individual for the final. There were some lovely rounds jumped in the 80cm, with both Danielle I and Izzy A jumping double clear. Izzy’s clear was done in an excellent time, which meant she won the class and qualified for the final in May.

Next was the turn of the 90cm riders, with ÐÔÊÀ½ç´«Ã½ putting forward two teams of three.  All members of ÐÔÊÀ½ç´«Ã½ Blue jumped clear and therefore finished on a score of zero – the only team to do so, winning their class and qualifying. Well done Danielle, Izzy, and Morten. ÐÔÊÀ½ç´«Ã½ Red did well too, finishing in 3^rd place and only just missing out on qualifying. ÐÔÊÀ½ç´«Ã½ riders were also successful individually, with Ralf B finishing in 3^rd place and qualifying as an individual, and Morten coming 5^th.

Finally, it was time for the 1m class. It was a challenging course, with all riders having faults apart from Ellie A who jumped a beautiful clear. This result was good enough for ÐÔÊÀ½ç´«Ã½ to take home another win and a final qualification.  Ellie was 3^rd and Ralf 4^th individually, qualifying them both for the final. Olivia S also jumped well enough to pick up 6^th place.

Well done everyone who came to the show and braved the weather. It was a great day for ÐÔÊÀ½ç´«Ã½ with three wins and qualifications at every height, including five individual and two team qualifications.
