Dodson & Horrell National Amateur Second Round at Bold Heath Equestrian Centre

Bold Heath Equestrian Centre in Widnes, Cheshire hosted a 1.10m Dodson & Horrell National Amateur Second Round and the class, which was held on Sunday 28th October 2012, attracted 17 starting combinations. Following months of competition in the Dodson & Horrell National Amateur First Rounds, riders were competing in order to qualify for the Championship Final. 

  

All the combinations starting in the Dodson & Horrell 1.00m National Amateur Second Round were all hoping to secure one of the twelve direct qualifying tickets on offer for the Dodson & Horrell National Amateur Championships, which take place at Aintree International Equestrian Centre in November 2012.

 

In this Second Round, eight combinations made it through to the jump off and in the jump off, five combinations achieved a double clear and the times decided the places. 

 

Taking the winners spot was 23-year-old Emma Shore from Tarporley, Cheshire and she won this second round on board her own 21-year-old roan mare, Wee Welsh Lady. This combination cleared all seven fences in the jump off in a time of 28.20 seconds to seal the win by over a second and a place in the Championship Final. 

 

Second place was taken by 55-year-old Mimi Owen from Whitchurch, Shropshire and she rode her own 11-year-old bay gelding, Westview Ronald. The combination completed a faultless round in the jump off in 29.80 seconds and there time did enough to ensure a top two finish.

 

In third place was 24-year-old Matthew Daniels from Rainhill, Merseyside and he competed on his own 13-year-old skewbald mare, Hilltown Maybe II. This combination posted an immaculate clear in the jump off in a time of 30.60 seconds.
