Lauren Edwards secured the win in the National Five Year Old Championship kindly sponsored by CWD Sellier riding Expresso 99. The pair finished in a time of 33.26 and were third to go in the jump off beating the earlier time of 33.48 set by Michael Fursedon. Lauren was last of 12 to go with her other mare Kesara, but knowing she had already won she was able to breeze round the 1.20m course.
The Southampton based show jumper said of her mare Expresso 99 (also known as Spongebob): “She was good to me coming to the double as we didn’t have a very good stride but she corrected herself - she is such a trier and has a heart of gold.” Neither of her mares who jumped today in the class have much experience in big arenas like the Championship Arena 2 here at the British Chowjumping National Championships but both went well for her today.
Runners up were Michael Fursedonn with Nirvana Vant Vossenhof Z and Rachel Burr with Gaudi.
