Addington Manor Equestrian Centre in Buckinghamshire hosted one of the initial SEIB Winter Novice Qualifiers of this year over the weekend and it was Essex’s Harry Bateman who bagged the win alongside a place in the Championship Final.
The Championship Final will be held at the prestigious Royal International Horse Show at Hickstead, West Sussex and with two qualifying places up for grabs, spectators were treated to an electrifying nineteen horse jump off in which ten double clears were racked up.
Harry, who is based in Hockley, jumped to the top of the leader board with his own 6 year-old chestnut mare Zuniek VD Tojopehoeve Z. The pair posted their double clear in a winning time of 31.69 seconds and finished with a 0.76 margin.
Laura Mantel from Reading, Berkshire took second place on board Gerdien 2 Van De Oldenhoff, a 7 year-old grey roan mare owned by Joanna Linton. They secured their double clear in 32.45 seconds.
