County Durham's Angela Mills crowned Dodson & Horrell National Minor Veteran Riders Champion

 

The ever popular Dodson & Horrell National Amateur & Veteran Championships held at Aintree Equestrian Centre in Liverpool (14th – 19th November) were once again one of the highlights of the national showjumping calendar. Following six days of thrilling showjumping, six new National Champions were crowned.

 

The National Amateur Championships give amateur riders and horses the opportunity to contest an end of year final across four different heights of fences – 0.85cm, 0.95cm, 1.05m and 1.10m. The National Veteran Riders Championships are spilt into minor and major categories.

 

Angela Mills from Haswell, County Durham notched up another Championship win as she headed the Minor Veteran Riders Championship on her own 13 year-old bay gelding, Quids In II. This partnership bettered twenty-five others as they ruled the thirteen horse jump off with a double clear in 32.29 seconds.

 

Angela and Quids In II are Championship regulars and after picking up the National Amateur 0.95m Championship last year, Angela was thrilled to be taking home another title.

 

“I am over the moon to have won. I have been really poorly so my preparation for these Championships has been minimal but Quids In just proves what a fantastic horse he is. It was a competitive class, but Quids In is so consistent and we were able to put in the winning round. I can‘t tell you how pleased I am!”
