The 2019 Charles Britton Equestrian Construction Winter JA Classic Qualifiers continued this weekend at SouthView Equestrian Centre in Winsford, Cheshire and they were held during the 148cm Pony Premier Show.

Charles Britton Equestrian Construction Winter JA Classic Qualifier – Saturday 2nd February 2019

A field of thirty-two combinations came forward to tackle course designer David Cole’s track and it was fifteen year-old Elloise Smith, from Maidstone, Kent who claimed the win in Saturday’s qualifier on board Deborah Smit’s 17 year-old dun gelding, Newtown Samson.

Six of the seven combinations in the second round made it through to the final jump-off and it was a nail-biting finish with Elloise crossing the finish line with a treble clear just 0.30 of a second ahead of second placed Madison Heath on Sarah Williams’ Flavia. Thomas Francis-Jones jumped into third with Kiltormer Hero owned by Amanda Francis-Jones.

Fourteen year-old Claudia Moore from Brentwood, Essex took the one-two in Sunday’s qualifier with her European Team Gold and Individual Bronze medal partner Elando Van De Roshoeve, a 15 year-old Belgian bred gelding owned by her mother Katrina.

The initial line up saw twenty-nine competitors come forward but just three made it through to the final round with Claudia producing the only two treble clears and in doing so, she took second place with the 12 year-old Delflip, also owned by Katrina.
