Results
We had a very mixed day and the weather set in, torrential rain during the second rounds, which had a significant impact on how the courses rode. The decision to ride no jump off rounds in the novice and intermediate arenas was made part way through the second round, a decision made for the safety of the riders and horses. Sadly, our novice teams had already jumped their second rounds.

The novice red team finished in 10th place, with Tara Murphy individual 9th. The team only just missing out on qualifying for the national championships. Katie Cameron and Tara Murphy were both double clear.

The novice blue team were unplaced, but all rode very well in some trying conditions.

The intermediate team were unplaced, with the second round producing some challenges.

Our individual open team member Charlotte Chapple rode 3 fantastic rounds, every single one clear, an achievement matched by only 3 other riders. This earned her a 2nd place and secured a qualification to the National Championships. Well done Charlotte and Winny!

All riders and horses/ponies came home very wet, but safe and sound.
