One Day Event
13th May 2012
The previous 2 weeks saw cancellations across the country, including Badminton, Chatsworth and Keysoe, so with bated breath and a course inspection a couple of days before, it was confirmed that the One Day Event could go ahead, much to the relief of organisers and competitors. Local cancellations led to a large number of entries, with most sections full with a waiting list.
Class 1 (2ft 6ins) was fiercely competitive and divided into 2 sections.
The first section was won by Abigail Morrell on Putjades Only Fool from Essex Farmers. The Best Soham was awarded to India Gibson who finished 6th on Kitty.
Soham had 4 members finishing in the top 10, along with India was Sarah Frogley (8th), Victoria McIlwraith (9th) and Lizzy Barr (10th).
The second section was won by Julia Woods, on Flannans Aiden, but closely contested in 3rd place by Soham’s local riding school proprietor Lorraine Webster Ward, who has been active at the pony club for many years.
The second class was divided into 3 sections, the first being won by Sarah Howlett from Newmarket and Thurlow Pony Club, the second by Abigail Barker and the final section by Fin Atherton of Puckeridge Hunt. Again the home pony club had 3 places in the top ten of this class. Best Soham went to Nicole Sheldrake on He’s Got the Nack, (7th), with Cassie Robinson 8th and Annabel Molyneux 9th.
The final class was won by Lydia Chapman on Cwrt Cardi finishing on her dressage score of 24.40.
The day ran very well and hats off to Tina Hall for dealing successfully with the large number of entries, in her always cheerful manner and calmness on the day.
