EquestrianClearance.com Senior Newcomers Second Round at the Scottish Summer Extravaganza Show
Thursday 24 July 2014
The EquestrianClearance.com Senior Newcomers Second Rounds continued last weekend at the Scottish Summer Extravaganza Show which was held at the Royal Highland Showground. Thirty-seven combinations came forward for this second round held on Saturday 19th July 2014.
Up for grabs at this second round were two direct qualifying tickets for the EquestrianClearance.com Senior Newcomers Championship Final at the Horse of the Year Show and each competitor was hoping to take one of these tickets as their own.
Thirteen of the starters produced the two clear rounds needed to make it through into the final jump off and in that jump off, six combinations went on to deliver a treble clear. This meant that the clock was crucial in deciding the order of results and the allocation of the qualifications.
Victory in this second round was taken by 22 year-old Richard Howley from Wetherby, West Yorkshire on Westpoint Baros, an 8 year-old bay gelding owned by HK Horses. The combination was the penultimate one to go in the final jump off and Richard had a treble clear firmly in his sights having seen five produced before him. Richard and Westpoint Baros not only secured that treble clear, but they did so in the fastest time of the class, 41.56 seconds.
Second place was taken 20 year-old Pippa Allen from Stockton-on-Tees, Cleveland and she was on board Grenoble 46, an 8 year-old grey mare owned by her father Peter. Pippa also produced three immaculate rounds from her ride and she achieved this in a time
The first two horse and rider combinations, disregarding those already qualified, will qualify for the Horse of the Year Show. The first five, disregarding those already qualified, will qualify for the Alexanders Horseboxes British Showjumping Scope Festival. Horses and riders that jump a treble clear also qualify for the Alexanders Horseboxes British Showjumping Scope Festival.
