Results from Junior Area Showjumping on 19 February

We had 4 girls join MHRC specifically to do the Area Showjumping competition held at Summerhouse on 19 February, and they certainly mean business with fantastic results from them all.

First to jump was Natalie Cull riding Drunken Sailor, then Harriet Richards on Bovril, then Becky Daniels and Foxy Lady, and Mollie Tellum on Supreme Cindy to complete the team.

After the first round we had 4 clears, we couldn't fault the girls and the ponies jumped brilliantly.  Then onto the second round which was timed.  Natalie went first with a fantastic round and went straight into the lead.  Next up was Harriet, who did exactly the same with a slightly quicker time taking her into the lead!  Becky and Foxy Lady unfortunatley rolled a pole, so then all eyes were on poor Mollie Tellum!  But fair play to her, not only did she jump clear, she also got the fastest time, so after the 2 rounds we had individual placings of 1st, 2nd and 3rd!

There were also 2 other teams on a zero score so then all girls had to jump off.  Natalie and Mollie were clear, but sadly Harriet and Becky rolled a pole each so we ended up finishing in 2nd place.  This was an amazing result as that mean they have qualified for the Winter SJ Championships at Hartpury in April. 

Lin was at the end of the phone for most of the competition but made it in time to see the action and Karen Daniels did a fantastic job as Chef d'Equipe.

A big well done to all the girls, and good luck at the championships.  Full results can be found here
