“The best day of my life!” - Callington Sparklers take the 70cm Just For Schools Final

Wednesday 09 August 2017

It was a win for Callington Sparklers team, from Callington School in Cornwall, in the 70cm 'Just For Schools' National Championship Final on day one of the British Showjumping National Championships. The four members of the team; Isobel Thomas, Holly Hale, Megan Busby and Tilly Bassett, travelled up from Cornwall last night having won all of their league competitions throughout the year.

Whilst three of the team members played it safe to secure team standing, Tilly Bassett riding Grattons Moonbeam were the last to go for the team and raced to the finish line in the jump off in just 27.00 seconds securing the team’s first place result. “It is the best day of my life!” Tilly exclaimed, beaming from ear to ear. Tilly also placed fifth as an individual. Megan’s pony, 20 year-old Totally Unreal, has even been brought out of retirement this year to compete in the league; they placed sixth individually. Second in the team placings was Llandovery Hawks and third place was Cottesloe School.
