Bicton Arena in Salterton, Devon hosted a Blue Chip Pony Newcomers Second Round on Sunday 18th May 2014 and it attracted a total of 33 eligible starting combinations.
Up for grabs at this second round were two direct qualifying tickets for the Blue Chip Pony Newcomers Championship Final at the Horse of the Year Show and all of the starting combinations went with the aim of taking one of these tickets home.
From all the starters, nine combinations went on to produce two clear rounds to make it through into the final jump off and five combinations then produced a treble clear.
Chloe Reynolds (15) from Chard, Somerset took victory in this second round on 9 year-old coloured mare Kayleigh’s Star, owned by Sophie Digby. The combination was second to go in the jump off and after producing their third clear in 38.15 seconds, they ensured that they could not be beaten. Chloe enjoyed a successful second round after also taking third and fourth place on Douglas III and Ashwey Patch Sparrow respectively.
Second place was taken by 15 year-old Joshua Bridge from Pontyclun, Mid Glamorgan who was competing on his mother Kelly’s 7 year-old chestnut mare Lui Roulette. The pair secured their treble clear in a time of 40.10 seconds to take their place in the top two.
The first two pony and rider combinations, disregarding those already qualified, will qualify for the Horse of the Year Show. The first five, disregarding those already qualified, will qualify for the Alexanders Horseboxes British Showjumping Scope Festival. Ponies and riders that jump a treble clear also qualify for the Alexanders Horseboxes British Showjumping Scope Festival.
