Kerrie Goodwin from St Albans, Hertfordshire jumped the Horseware Bronze League Qualifier in fine style on Sunday and landed first place at Arena UK in Grantham, Lincolnshire.
The class began with fifty competitors all focused on securing one of the three sought after qualification spots available for the Horseware Bronze League Semi Finals, which will run in August, and this led to a close fought battle for the top spot. After the first two rounds eighteen combinations remained to go up against the clock over the newly shortened course as the jump off began.
Kerrie produced two consistently fast clear rounds on board her own 21 year-old chestnut gelding, Roscoes Golani before heading to the jump off. This pair went on to deliver a further solid and speedy clear round to take their place in top spot in a time of 33.05 seconds.
Securing second place and a treble clear was Alice Ellison from Cambridge riding Sacha Ellison’s 8 year-old bay mare, Elsalinda S. This partnership demonstrated their consistency as they crossed the finish line in 35.90 seconds.
Scooping up third place was Chloe Coward from Peterborough, Cambridgeshire on board her 5 year-old grey gelding H Blokx. This combination jumped a treble clear and finished in a time of 36.19 seconds.
