FANTASTIC RESULTS FOR SCOTTISH SCHOOLS AT EQUESTRIAN CHAMPIONSHIPS

Recently teams and individuals from five Scottish schools undertook the 700 mile round trip to compete at the National Schools Equestrian Association Championships at Addington Manor in Buckinghamshire.

This is a very prestigious event which has now run for nearly 20 years. About 1000 riders qualify each year to compete in various levels of dressage, showjumping and Jumping with Style competitions over three days of intense competition.

Kelso High School sent 13 riders and 12 horses (Louise Hebdon, Erin Lathangie, Emily Edgar, Duncan McFadyen, Jessica Howlett, Amy Ralston, Frankie Home Mossop, Georgia Buckley, Rebecca Buckley, Morven Shanks, Olivia Stratford, Angus Lathangie & Hannah Thomson)

Jedburgh Grammar were represented by 8 riders and 10 horses (Emma Stenhouse, Samantha Martin, Rebecca Dun, Ellie Meldrum, Millie Scott, Becky Forster, Lucy Brown & Lucy King)
Morebattle Primary had 4 riders & 8 ponies (Katy McFadyen, Katie Edgar, Vicky Edgar & Alex Edgar)

Earlston High School had 3 riders and 4 horses (Shannon Purves, Gabrielle Purves and Katie Rourke)

The Mary Erskine School sent 4 representatives (Fraser Sinclair, Frankie Campbell, Nicola Broad and Alice McLay.

These talented children from around Scotland had some very good results over the 3 days.

Jedburgh Grammar School were thrilled to win the Championship of the 95cm showjumping in the Olympic size Arena on the Saturday night. The team of Emma Stenhouse, Samantha Martin, Rebecca Dun & Ellie Meldrum qualified for the final in 6th place. A lovely, sensible clear round from last to go Ellie Meldrum on Sylvestor 60 helped the team to finish on a team score of 4 faults to take the Championship. The Earlston team of Shannon Purves, Gabrielle Purves and Katie Rourke despite not having a fourth member in their team to use as a drop score all did lovely rounds to finish in 6th place overall.

Morebattle Primary and Kelso High had both qualified in the top eight teams for the 75cm Championship later that night. A nerve racking competition saw it coming down to the final pony to jump to decide which of these two teams would be champion as they were the only two teams on a zero score. Last to jump Katy McFadyen on Bounty 11 rode an accurate and careful round to help her team mates (Katie Edgar, Alex Edgar & Vicky Edgar) from Morebattle Primary to take the Championship by 1.5 seconds from their near neighbours Kelso High School whose team comprised of Amy Ralston, Frankie Home Mossop, Georgia Buckley and Rebecca Buckley.

This was a fitting finale for the Morebattle Team who were riding in their last competition for Morebattle Primary as they have now all moved up to Kelso High School.

Amazing results from all the Scottish schools!

This trip obviously took a lot of planning and financing.. All the schools involved would like to take this opportunity to thank all individuals, organisations and businesses that supported and donated to their fund raising efforts.

A mention also to the parent’s and team managers who organised all the logistics.
