Riding Club National Champs Qualifier


Lucy and I have been selected to be on the team for Delamere Forest
Riding Club in the show jumping team qualifier for the Riding Club National Championships. We are making up the trio to jump the 1m section. We travelled to a local venue in Middlewich on Sunday 20th June on a beautiful sunny morning. We met up with my 2 team members, Jo and Alison, and walked the course for the qualifier. It was supposed to be 1m but it was quite small in my opinion, so i was confident that Lucy would jump clear. We were drawn 2nd for the team and Lucy duly jumped a lovely clear in the first round, as did Jo and Alison to put us in a strong position. We had to jump off with 8 other teams to decide which team would make it through to the final. Jo went first and jumped a lovely 3rd clear. Lucy and I followed and i went as quickly as i could without risking having a fence down. Lucy jumped another lovely clear which just left Alison to jump. Unfortunately her mare had a very unlucky pole down to leave us in 6th place. I was extremely pleased with Lucy today she jumped fanastically.
