Dodson & Horrell 0.85m, 1.05m and 1.10m National Amateur Second Rounds at Arena UK
Wednesday 30 September 2015
The Dodson & Horrell National Amateur Second Rounds held during the Arena UK Festival of Showjumping in Grantham, Lincolnshire proved popular with competitors as ninety-three combinations came forward across the 0.85m, 1.05m and 1.10m Second Rounds.
With qualifying for the Dodson & Horrell National Amateur Championships at Aintree Equestrian Centre in Liverpool (18th – 22nd November) a priority, each competitor was focused on taking one of the twelve direct qualifying places on offer in each class.

Adding a further victory to the one that they gained in the 0.95m National Amateur Second Round at Houghton Hall Equestrian Centre a couple of weeks ago was the combination of fifteen year-old Abbi Jackson from Sandy, Bedfordshire on her mother Vikki’s 10 year-old bay gelding Christopher Robin IV.
Abbi and Christopher Robin IV beat twenty-seven other combinations to take the top spot in this second round. They used a late draw in the jump off to their advantage, posting an accurate and fast round to finish up with a double clear in 33.14 seconds and this was to prove good enough for the win.
Gemma Dickens from Loughborough, Leicestershire took second place on Lesley Dickens’ 24 year-old bay gelding Oakley’s Ace after guiding him to a double clear in 35.84 seconds.
Fifteen year-old Mark Poskitt from Goole, North Humberside finished in third with his mother Clare’s 8 year-old brown mare Coromandel. This combination achieved their double clear in 36.95 seconds.
