Dodson & Horrell 0.85cm and 1.05m National Amateur Second Rounds at Field House Equestrian Centre
Tuesday 28 October 2014
On Saturday 25th October, Field House Equestrian Centre in Uttoxeter, Staffordshire hosted the penultimate Dodson & Horrell 0.85cm National Amateur Second Round of this year alongside the last of the Dodson & Horrell 1.05m National Amateur Second Rounds.
Each of the starters that came forward to contest the classes were hoping to claim one of the twelve direct qualifying places on offer for the Dodson & Horrell National Amateur Championships, which take place at Aintree Equestrian Centre in Liverpool during the 19th – 23rd November 2014.

Thirty-one combinations came forward to contest this second round and the jump off proved to be well fought after fourteen combinations made it through. With just twelve qualification places on offer, each rider was aiming to secure a double clear and after seven achieved this, the rest of the field tried to secure as low scoring rounds as possible.
The fastest double clear of the class, and subsequent win, was delivered by 43 year-old Tania Lambe from Church Lawton, Stoke on Trent on her own 19 year-old bay gelding Native Caption. Drawn as the penultimate combination to go in the jump off, they took full advantage of having seen the majority of other combinations go before them and went on to put in a fast and foot perfect round, stopping the clock in 38.49 seconds. This time gave them nearly six seconds in hand over second place, a clear win.
Second place went to 46 year-old Pippa Winn from Sheffield, South Yorkshire with her own 12 year-old grey mare Adamstown Rohan. They produced their double clear from halfway through the jump off and did so in 44.71 seconds.
Third place was taken by 32 year-old Sally Griffin from Newcastle-Under-Lyme, Staffordshire who partnered her own 13 year-old brown gelding Lucky Blue Eye. This combination crossed the finish line in 45.03 seconds to secure their place not only a spot in the top three but also their place in the Championship Final.
Nine further combinations also went on to secure their qualification for the Dodson & Horrell 0.85cm National Amateur Championship Final.

Dodson & Horrell 1.05m National Amateur Second Round.
This second round was contested by twenty-six competitors and an impressive sixteen combinations went on to contest the jump off. The jump off then saw twelve combinations put in two foot perfect rounds to secure the qualification places and this meant that the clock was the deciding factor for the allocation of the places.
Victory in this second round went to Sue Pountain from Uttoxeter, Staffordshire on her own 11 year-old chestnut gelding Sat On A Star. Sue and her ride were drawn as the last to go in the jump off and they made sure they secured a stylish win by putting in a quick double clear. Their time was clocked as 32.00 seconds.
Tracy Wright, aged 52 from Salt, Staffordshire took second place on board her own 13 year-old grey mare Silva Image. This combination collected their double clear in 33.86 seconds to give them a place inside the top two.
