Sam Best is Foot Perfect in the Dodson & Horrell 1.05m National Amateur Second Round at Parley Equestrian Centre

Friday 16 October 2015

Sam Best from Dorchester, Dorset won the Dodson & Horrell 1.05m National Amateur Second Round at Parley Equestrian Centre in Christchurch, Dorset on Saturday on his own aptly named 16 year-old chestnut mare, Foot Perfect. 

Sam fought off stiff competition to not only take victory, but also book his place at the Dodson & Horrell National Amateur Championships, which take place next month (18th-22nd November 2015) at Aintree Equestrian Centre in Liverpool. 

Sam and Foot Perfect led the nine-horse jump off from the start, setting the standard with a foot perfect double clear which they clocked up in 34.96 seconds. This result was one that couldn’t be bettered and the combination eventually finished with nearly two seconds in hand. 

Southerly Roberts from Hook, Hampshire took second place on board her own 9 year-old bay mare Fizz IV. Southerly and Fizz were one of only three combinations able to break the 40 seconds barrier with a double clear, crossing through the finish in 36.93 seconds.

Third place was taken by Ellie-Louise Francis from Reading, Berkshire after she produced a double clear in 38.23 seconds on her own 11 year-old grey mare, Gatestown Diva.
