Monday 05 June 2017
A bumper field of seventy-seven eager combinations gathered at Summerhouse Equestrian Centre in Gloucestershire on Sunday to contest the Nupafeed Supplements Senior Discovery Second Round and it was Georgia Johns-Powell who finished the class at the top of the leader board.
With each rider aiming to book a place in the Nupafeed Supplements Senior Discovery Championship Final, which will be held during the British Showjumping National Championships in August, a competitive class unfolded. Following two nail biting rounds, just nineteen combinations made their way in to the jump-off where the final push for a treble clear got underway.
Georgina Johns-Powell from Bonvilston, Cardiff was able to guide her own 7 year-old bay gelding, Villages Kroongraaf straight in to first place. With her fellow competitors also setting the bar high, this combination pulled out all the stops to deliver an unbeatable treble clear in 36.00 seconds.
Jumping into second place was Rachel Horton from Malmesbury, Wiltshire riding her own 10 year-old grey gelding, His Highness Van De Rostal. This partnership jumped three strong clear rounds to cross the finish line in a time of 36.18 seconds.
Taking home third place was Amelia Rogers from Pontyclun, Mid Glamorgan riding her own 7 year-old bay gelding, Vinroy V. This pair delivered their treble clear in 37.21 seconds.
With another four combinations also achieving a treble clear, a total of seven combinations now go forward to the Nupafeed Supplements Senior Discovery Championship Final.
