EquestrianClearance.com Senior Newcomers Second Round at Rowallan Activity Centre

The fifth of the EquestrianClearance.com Senior Newcomers Second Rounds took place this weekend (Saturday 16th June 2012) at Rowallan Activity Centre in Fenwick Ayrshire and the class was well attended by a number of talented horse and rider combinations. 

 

Combinations came from all over the country with the aim of qualifying for the EquestrianClearance.com Senior Newcomers Championship Final, which will be held at the Horse of the Year Show on Wednesday 3rd October 2012. 

 

Up for grabs at this second round were two direct qualifying tickets for the EquestrianClearance.com Senior Newcomers Championship Final and from the total number of starters, eight combinations went on to produce two clear rounds to make it through into the final jump off. From those eight, three then went on to achieve the vital treble clear needed to put them in with a chance of qualifying for the Championship Final.  

 

The winner of this second round was 17-year-old Lauren Edwards from Peebles, Peebleshire. Lauren’s victory was on board Stanley Brash’s seven-year-old gelding, Park Lane. The combination produced a faultless treble clear in a time of only 37.87 seconds to clinch the class win and the first HOYS direct qualifying place.

 

Second place and the second HOYS direct qualifying place went to 23-year-old Chris Smith from Hyde, Cheshire. Chris rode Joanne Aston’s seven-year-old gelding, Fellow Van T, clear over the jump off course in a time of 38.47 seconds. 

 

Just missing out on the Horse of the Year Show qualifications were the combinations in third to fifth. All of these combinations secured their opportunity to compete at the Victory Shavings British Showjumping Scope Festival (26th August – 1st September 2012).
