A bumper field of eighty-one combinations came forward for Sunday’s SEIB Winter Novice Qualifier at Arena UK in Grantham, Lincolnshire and it was Olivia Poole from Shrewsbury, Shropshire who proved victorious at the end of a twenty-eight horse jump off.
All of the competitors were focused on picking up one of the two qualifying tickets up for grabs for the Championship which will take place at the Longines Royal International Horse Show in July and the jump off proved to be well fought with six double clears achieved overall.
Olivia, who was on board Quality, a 6 year-old bay owned by Michelle Poole, delivered one of the double clears and she did so in 35.16 seconds. This time was to eventually give Olivia and Quality more than a second in hand over their nearest rivals.
The second qualification ticket was taken by Beth Vernon from Mansfield, Nottinghamshire after she secured a double clear in 36.28 seconds on board Sue Davies’ 6 year-old chestnut gelding, Moneybroom Dancer.
