Tri-Zone Airlite Senior Discovery Regional Final at Keysoe Equestrian Centre

 

Riders flocked from all over the country with the aim of qualifying for the Tri-Zone Senior Discovery Championship Final, which will be held at the Victory Shavings British Showjumping Scope Festival (26th August – 1st September 2012). 

 

Of the total entries, 37 combinations started in the Regional Final and nine combinations made it through to the final jump off after first having to produce two clear rounds during the earlier phases of the competition. 

 

Of these nine combinations, only three were able to produce the all important treble clear required and it was 27-year-old Michael Fursedonn from Brentwood, Essex who finished at the top of the leader board. Michael rode Susan Bastone’s McCormacks Stitch to victory, coming home clear in a time of 45.24 seconds and with this result, he secured his place in the Tri-Zone Airlite Senior Discovery Championship Final.

 

Michael and McCormacks Stitch finished over six seconds ahead of second placed 22-year-old Alice Norman from Ely, Cambridgeshire. Alice rode her own Zonnemiek home in a time of 51.39 seconds to clinch the second qualifying spot for the Tri-Zone Airlite Senior Discovery Championship Final. 

 

The third qualifying spot went to third placed 21-year-old Michaela Webb from Holcot, Northamptonshire and she rode her mother’s (Landona II) over the fences in a time of 56.20 seconds, producing the third and final treble clear of the day.

Tri-Zone Airlite Boots have been designed and developed by EQUILIBRIUM Products, a company dedicated to making products that are of the highest quality, giving you the confidence that your horse is protected and can perform to the best of his ability.

 

Tri-Zone Airlite Boots, are a highly innovative new range of boots that completely challenges the traditional rigid boot design by providing high protection whilst maintaining lightness, flexibility and breathability.

 

Unlike other showjumping boots, Tri-Zone Airlite Tendon and Fetlock boots use a triple layer system to provide excellent protection without any impediment or restriction offering an extremely comfortable and lightweight boot. The Tri-Zone Airlite range has been tested in an independent safety laboratory for its ability to reduce concussion and resist penetration using the same test as body protectors and police armour.
