A young Team of Ada Marson (Year 6), Perdi Ludgrove (Year 6), Olivia Lubbock (Year 7) and Fleur Ludgrove (Year 8) really pulled together in the final round to take 2nd Place in the NSEA Plate 75cms Show Jumping Championships at the College Equestrian Centre, Keysoe, Bedfordshire on Saturday 3rd December.
After the first round the Team were lying in 6th position going into the final round. The course increased in complexity and went up in height to 80-85cms, but the young team of Woodbridge girls held it together to produce a steady clear from Perdi, a fast clear round for both Fleur and Ada, and an exceptionally fast round from Olivia who unfortunately knocked 2 poles resulting in 8 penalty points
.
The other teams suffered under the pressure and the Woodbridge Team ended up climbing through the ranks to finish 2nd Overall which was a fantastic achievement for all involved.
Fleur was also 2nd in the Santa Stakes competition earlier in the morning, and after the main Championship Finals, the girls were on a roll taking 3rd in the Eventers Challenge Qualifier with Fleur also awarded 6th place individually.
A superb way to finish an incredibly successful term for all Woodbridge School Riding Team members at Grass Roots, National Championship Finals and now Plate Championship Finals.
