Dodson & Horrell 0.85m & 0.95m National Amateur Second Rounds at Codham Park Equestrian
Monday 19 October 2015
Codham Park Equestrian in Braintree, Essex was the venue for two Dodson & Horrell National Amateur Second Rounds, both of which were held yesterday. Competitors came forward for both a 0.85m and a 0.95m second round and each starter was aiming to pick up one of the twelve qualifying tickets on offer in each second round for a place at the Dodson & Horrell National Amateur Championships next month (18th – 22nd November) at Aintree Equestrian Centre in Liverpool.

Solid performances from a number of competitors saw a ten horse jump off unfold and the win came from the very last combination to go. Seventeen year-old Saffron Baker from Ipswich, Suffolk used the draw to her advantage, scooping victory on board Ann Withey’s 13 year-old bay mare, Loulabelle II.
Having seen seven double clears produced before her, Saffron knew that only an accurate quick round would do and she duly delivered. Saffron and Loulabelle posted their double clear in 35.06 seconds, shaving just 0.38 of a second off the time of their nearest rivals.
Kerrie Goodwin from St. Albans, Hertfordshire took second place with her own 19 year-old chestnut gelding, Roscoes Golani after they clocked up their double clear in 35.44 seconds. This saw them finish as only other combination with a double clear in under 36.00 seconds.
Young showjumper, 13 year-old Alice Casburn, from Norwich, Norfolk rounded off the podium places on Caroline Casburn’s 9 year-old bay mare Rhydfendigaid Groten Goch. They produced their double clear in 36.73 seconds.

This second round proved to be closely fought after fifteen of the twenty-three initial starters made it through into the jump off. With just the twelve qualification places on offer, competitors were focused on taking one of them for their very own.
Megan White from Orpington, Kent set the pace early on in the jump off on board her own 13 year-old chestnut mare, Young Loula. Drawn as the fourth combination to jump, Megan steered her mount over the fences with precision and speed to cross through the finish with a double clear in 35.93 seconds. This result was to eventually prove good enough for the win.
Second place was taken by Alice Ellison from Cambridge and she rode Elsalinda S, a 6 year-old bay mare owned by Sacha Ellison. This combination achieved their double clear in 37.26 seconds.
Rachel Chisnell from Colchester, Essex secured third place with her own 8 year-old bay gelding HSB Shancourt Diamond after producing a double clear in 40.66 seconds.
