At the Combined Challenge Champs we were represented by Lizzie Bateman in the 80cm Challenge (SJ &XC) , Sophie Hunt in the 100cm Challenge and the 90cm Challenge team of Anneka Fisher, Ava Jamieson (jnr), Helen Garner & Alice Kidd.

The 90 team of Helen, Alice, Ava and Anneka finished in 6th place as a team, poles fell for everyone today but Anneka and Ava where almost bang on the xc time which as always was tricky and finally, Sophie did a great job in the 100 and had a pole down and a few time faults.

Endurance GB Riding Club Champs - 24th August...
Well Vale was a blast! We had so much fun! The Club championship had the best of the weather and the best going. Lots of canter opportunities along grassy headlands but with twists and turns to keep you on your toes. I knew the course and it was exceptionally well marked so Hogan and I led the team round without incident. We were travelling at over 14km/hr at one point but always intended to go slower towards the end: the course had some roadwork, more hills and some slippery tracks through the woods and we wanted to get the lowest heart rates possible. Even so, we comfortably exceeded the optimum speed of 12km/hr. All safely through the final vetting but we had no idea how the other team had done so it was a tense wait for the prize giving. We won! The trophy is ours for a year! Together with lots of prizes from the sponsors Emerald Green Feeds. Gilly Hasberry
BRC HORSE TRIALS CHAMPS - SWALCLIFFE 3&4TH AUGUST
Oh my goodness what a fabulous weekend at the BRC Horse Trials Championships sponsored by Comfy Horse!

NAF FIVE STAR BRC HORSE TRIALS CHAMPIONSHIPS - 4th/6th August 2023
What a weekend!
Friday morning trot up – unfortunately Annie Krumins horse Rio was not sound and was not allowed to continue. We were all gutted for them but in true team spirit took Rio home and came back to support the rest of her team mates all weekend.
Friday was dressage day for all.
90 team of Helen Garner (34.3), Karen Holmes (24.5), Celia Dyson (34.0) and Wendy Parker (37.5) all performed well and were lying 10th.
100 team of Tish Jerabek (28.) Caroline Harrison (33.0) and Claire Lewis (34.0) were lying 6th.
Saturday – what can I say it was wet! Phase A – Road and Tracks, Phase B – Steeplechase, Phase C – Roads & Tracks, 10 min box then Phase D – XC.
90cm - First up Helen coming home clear with 5.6 time pen, Karen had an unfortunate stop at the 2ndwater, Celia clear with 4.4 time pens and Wendy clear with 4 time pens. Team lying 8th.
100 team – the weather still did not get any better and the wind started to get up too.
Tish had a great round with just 2 time pens and Claire clear inside the time (with 3 shoes!), Caroline had the worst of the weather with the wind blowing the rain in your face and the Steeplechase was then causing problems with the going getting worse, had a few time pens but clear cross country with a few time faults. Team lying 6th, with Claire, Tish and Caroline lying 3rd in their sections.
Both teams rode fantastic in unbelievable conditions and all came home safe.
Alice Kidd was competing in the 80cm as an individual, Dressage of 37 pens and clear SJ
Sunday
As the weather was so bad on Saturday unfortunately for Alice all the Roads and Tracks and Steeplechase were taken out. Alice and Bill flew clear around the cross country just with a few time pens and finished 12th.
Trot up again for the 90cm and 100cm
All 90 team horses passed the vet after heart in your mouth moment when Helen’s Bella was held by the vet but a walk round was passed fit and Karen’s Luke deciding everything was so exciting that he caught Karen and cut her lip!
100 team – after Claire’s horse returned with 3 shoes we thought wouldn’t be sound after having shoe put back on but was past fit. Caroline looked lame but Sam looked raring. Unfortunately, Tish’s Roy was pulled up unsound by the vet after a nick on his knee was a bit swollen. But we still had Claire and Caroline in line individually.
90 team all jumped fab clear showjumping rounds with the team coming 7th. Celia 10th, Helen 13th, Wendy 13th and Karen 17th individually.
100cm – Claire Lewis clear and coming 2nd and Caroline 4 faults and coming 4th individually.

The 2nd April saw the first outing for the Club's Endurance Team at Haywood Oaks. The sandy tracks had coped well with the recent wet weather so the going was mostly excellent. The atmosphere in the vetting area was a bit electric for some horses so some high heart rates were recorded. Gilly Hasberry, Beccy Haslam and Charlotte Hall had a lovely ride covering the 32km at a smart 10.3km/hr. Charlotte was awarded Grade 1, Beccy riding her versatile eventer, gained a Grade 2 at their first attempt at the sport and Gillly was delighted with a Grade 3 for her youngster's first competitive ride. The next outings will be Foxdale on 7th May, Shuckborough on 13th May and Foremark on 20th May. Please Email Gilly to find out more.

Again a couple of poles fell and the time was tight but the team came 3rd. 80cm Juniors - Team of Ava Jamieson, Izzy Sim, Poppy & Rosie Spence.

Rockingham Team Report From Team Manager Rachel Frew...
First and foremost a massive well done to everyone. It’s not often that we get to jump at these shows with such an atmosphere, and what a fab event it was. A day of tough long courses that caught out many people. No team placings, but some amazing individual results from Jade England in the 70 for 2nd. Francesca Broadfoot in the 80 for 4th and Annie Krumins in the meter for 2nd. Well done to everyone else that jumped. We are super proud of you all.
Aston le Walls Combined Training Team Report From Claire Atkins...
A great day at the BRC Combined Championships at Aston le Walls. First up Sonia Wiles in the Challenge 100 (SJ&XC). Sonia Wiles did really well with two down over a very tricky and twisty sj course and then stormed around the XC. Just out the placings this time. Sonia did so well after a nasty fall at Aston last week, with bruises to prove it.
Charlotte Turlington and Jenny Duffin were up next in the Combined Training. Both did great tests with Charlotte jumping clear and a 4 faults coming 7th and 8th in her arenas. Jenny did a fab 29.6 dressage, clear SJ coming 2nd by 0.3 of a mark. Well done to all 3 of you. Thank you for representing the Club.
