Woodbridge Most Successful Suffolk Team at the NSEA Championships

Our Equestrian teams celebrated their most successful year at the National School Equestrian Championships at Keysoe from Thursday 20 to Sunday 24 October.  The most successful Suffolk team, Woodbridge had nine riders taking part over four days up against the best school riding teams in the UK, having qualified in eight team and four individual events.    

Woodbridge had five top eight team places from our eight team competitions, rewarded with rosettes, prizes and of course a bucket!    

Woodbridge riders were winners of the regional points league 2022.  The team with the most points in each county gained from competitions over the year is invited to compete.  Two riders jump 70cm, two jump 80cm, two jump 90cm and two jump 1m against the clock.  Top 5 scores to count.  Our team was Year 12’s Oscar, Year 11’s Sophia, Year 10’s Eve, Lois and Oscar, Year 8’s Harry, Zac and Edie.   

Other top results included: 

Eve Y10 winning the 1.10m Jumping with Style on Laddie. 

Oscar T coming third in the 80-85cm Jumping with Style on Cliff 

The team of Year 8’s Harry and Zac, with Year 10’s Oscar and Sophia came third in the 80-85cm Show Jumping.  They were competing against 34 teams. They finished in 7^th place after the first round, which meant that they were into the jump off. This was very exciting as the top eight teams all compete again; Sophia achieved a clear round with the fastest time to help move the team up four places into 3^rd place. 

On Saturday evening we supported Year 8’s Edie who had been selected to represent the South of England team in the Nations Cup.  Four teams of four riders from the South of England, the North of England, Wales and Scotland compete for the cup over eight jumps against the clock.  It was a very fast and exciting competition. Scotland won the Cup and Edie and the South of England team finished in 3^rd place.  

Well done to Year 7’s Grace who competing in her first Nationals came team 8^th in the 70-75cm Show Jumping together with Year 8’s Harry, Zac and Edie.
