Congratulations to Pierre Baber & Chaparral (2nd), Amanda Bown & Mam Zelle Tatin (3rd), Jordan–Anne Walker & Celtic Legend (4th) Amanda Bown & Betham Legend (6th), Lucy Hewlett & Fuerteventura (9th) & Takara Gregson & Saceur Rouge (11th) in the Dodson & Horrell 95cm National Amateur Second Round at Badgworth Arena.
Qualifying them for Dodson & Horrell National Amateur Championships, which take place at Aintree Equestrian Centre in Liverpool during the 18th – 22nd November 2015


Sixteen year-old Rachel Vicary from Crediton, Devon took the top spot in the last of this year’s Dodson & Horrell 0.95m National Amateur Second Rounds and she did so on Sunday at Badgworth Arena in Ayrbridge, Somerset. 

The twenty starters that came forward for this second round were competing with the plan of picking up one of the last twelve direct qualifying places on offer for the Dodson & Horrell 0.95m National Amateur Championship, which will take place at Aintree Equestrian Centre in Liverpool during the 18th – 22nd November 2015. 

Eleven combinations delivered a first round clear to head into the jump off and overall, seven double clears were produced. With everyone in the jump off securing their place for the Championship, all eyes turned to the clock to see who would pick up the podium places.

Rachel won the class on her mother Amanda’s 16 year-old bay mare Spirits Way and they produced the fastest double clear of the class when the clock was stopped on 31.97 seconds. This time saw them finish with a six second buffer.

Pierre Baber from Bristol finished in second with his own 12 year-old bay gelding Chaparral. Two foot perfect rounds from this pair saw them finish inside the top two with a time of 38.28 seconds. 

Third place was taken by Amanda Bown from Wells, Somerset after she produced her double clear on board her own 13 year-old dark bay mare Mam Zelle Tatin. This combination left all the fences untouched in a time of 38.36 seconds.
