Dodson & Horrell 0.95cm National Amateur Second Round.
Thirty-one competitors came forward to contest this second round and the jump off proved to be competitive after twenty-five combinations produced a first round clear. Sixteen double clears were eventually produced, but with just twelve direct qualifying places available, the clock proved to be absolutely pivotal in deciding the allocation of the qualification places.
Victory in this second round went to 22 year-old Amy Thomson from Cardiff, South Glamorgan partnering her own 15 year-old piebald gelding Super Snoop. The combination produced their double clear early on in the jump off and they did so in a quick time of 32.98 seconds, eventually giving them well over a second in hand over their nearest rivals.
Second place was taken by 36 year-old Katie Blandford from Ledbury, Herefordshire with her own 17 year-old grey mare Moonlight Molly. This combination crossed the finish line in 34.44 seconds to book their spot in the top two and in the Championship Final.
Third place went to 29 year-old Jade Bilboe from Cross Keys, Herefordshire on her own Meacham Elite, a 13 year-old dark bay mare. This combination took their place in the top three after delivering their double clear in 34.48 seconds.
An additional nine riders also secured their qualification for the Dodson & Horrell 0.95cm National Amateur Championship Final.
