Laura Whitfield scoops the KBIS Insurance Senior British Novice Second Round win at Muirmill Equestrian Centre

Taking this weekend’s KBIS Insurance Senior British Novice Second Round at Muirmill Equestrian Centre in Kilmarnock, Ayrshire by storm was Laura Whitfield, who rode three stylish clear rounds to claim first place.  

Competitors gathered to battle it out for a place in the KBIS Insurance Senior British Novice Championship Final which is to be held at the British Showjumping National Championships in August. All starters were aiming to achieve a sought after treble clear as this would secure their qualification place.

Against a determined field, Laura Whitfield from Haltwhistle, Northumbria rode three immaculate rounds on board her own 6 year-old chestnut mare, Tatiana II. This combination proved to be on fine form to take their place in the jump off before delivering yet another clear round to finish in 45.61 seconds.
