Woodbridge Riders at the National Schools Equestrian Association Championships in Buckinghamshire
On Saturday 25th October our riders competed at the National Schools Equestrian Association 2014 Championships held in Buckinghamshire.
It was a great performance by all, in a strong field – all riders were immaculately turned out and very smart; their commitment, determination, concentration and general effort was outstanding. It’s often quite a challenge to be a member of such a team – the pressure can be immense.
They ended up 19th out of 24 in the country!
Rohan Brooks finished on a score of 9 penalties and would have been placed 10th if she’d been an individual – quite something with 120 starters! Fantastic achievement on a 6 year old horse – what a future ahead they have!!
Sophia Ogilvie did so well to get to near the end of a long course. Without her we wouldn’t have even qualified! Considering she’s at boarding school now and away from her pony she did well to ride at the champs.
Georgie Warren was amazing – having only ridden Mossy twice before and then jumping course of 17 fences at 95cm at such a huge event!! Huge thanks to James Brown for lending Mossy.
Bella Regis rode a beautiful round, also gaining only 9 style penalties but had 3 time penalties, so a score of 12. A great achievement though, individually she would have been 15th!! Thank you for stepping in to represent the school.
