Annabel Shields triumphs in the Equitop Myoplast Senior Foxhunter Second Round at The Scottish Summer Extravaganza
Thursday 27 July 2017
With another demonstration of her talent, Annabel Shields continued her winning form at the Scottish Summer Extravaganza as she topped the Equitop Myoplast Senior Foxhunter Second Round.
The Royal Highland Showground was a hive of activity as twenty-seven combinations began the battle to claim one of the two direct qualifying tickets on offer for the Equitop Myoplast Senior Foxhunter Championship Final at Horse of the Year Show in October. The first two rounds of competition saw competitor numbers whittled down until just six determined combinations were left to go head to head for a treble clear in the final jump-off.
Annabel Shields from Crook, Durham delivered the winning performance on board Robert Shields’ 7 year-old grey roan gelding, Rubin VHS. Knocking almost three seconds off the time, this combination stormed to an unbeatable treble clear in 38.60 seconds.
Scooping second place with a strong performance was Rachael Connor from Rossendale, Lancashire riding her 7 year-old bay mare Fantastic. This partnership produced a treble clear in 41.14 seconds.
With the top two taking the direct qualifying tickets for the Equitop Myoplast Senior Foxhunter Championship Final, the combinations in third to fifth took home the chance to compete at the British Showjumping National Championships.
