EquestrianClearance.com Senior Newcomers Second Round at Arena UK
Wednesday 31 July 2013
The last of the 2013 EquestrianClearance.com Senior Newcomers Second Rounds took place on Monday 29th July 2013 at Arena UK in Grantham, Lincolnshire. The second round proved to be popular with competitors, attracting a total of one hundred and twenty-seven eligible starting combinations.
Up for grabs at this second round were two direct qualifying tickets for the EquestrianClearance.com Senior Newcomers Championship Final at the Horse of the Year Show (HOYS). All of the combinations were aiming to take one of these tickets home.
Of all the starters, eleven combinations went on to produce two clear rounds to make it through into the final jump off. Four combinations then went on to produce a treble clear and the clock dictated the places.
Derek Morton (45) from Stone, Staffordshire took the win in this second round on Skerne Scipio, a 6 year-old bay gelding owned by Skerne Leys Stud. The combination produced a fast but careful in the final jump off to finish on a treble clear in 43.00 seconds.
Second place was taken by 30 year-old Edward Cross from Sudbury, Suffolk. Edward was on board Da Vinci V, a 5 year-old bay stallion owned by Diana Cornish and Pennie Cornish. A treble clear from this combination in 45.87 seconds was enough to ensure that they secured a top two finish.
The first two horse 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 2013. Horses and riders that jump a treble clear also qualify for the Alexanders Horseboxes British Showjumping Scope Festival 2013.
