Houghton Team Showjumping

26th May 2013

We were again invited to send 2 teams to Houghton International Horse Trials as part of the Pony Club Showjumping being run by West Norfolk Pony Club.

It was a big event, running alongside the International horse trials, so to be jumping in an arena next to the likes of Zara Phillips, Francis Whittington and Lucinda Fredericks was a great honour for our pony club.

We were invited to send two teams, one in the 80cms and one in the 90cms, jumping 2 rounds.

The 80cm team was . . . . .

Tara Murphy
Victoria McIlwraith
Daisy Robinson
Katie Cameron

The 90cm team was . . . . .

Abi Scott
Lizzy Barr
Cleo McGregor
Amy Stone

Both teams rode well, round a course that produced some problems for many riders.

The 80cm team finished on 4 faults and were placed 6th , being the fastest of the 4 faulters. The commentator was very complimentary, and did wonder what they’d had for breakfast as they produced some very fast times in the second round!

The 90cm team were placed 3rd, finishing on 4 faults against some very competitive teams.
