Saturday saw fifteen year-old Perdita Digby from Dorchester, Dorset gave the winning performance with Sophie Digby’s 13 year-old coloured mare Kayleighs Star. This pair delivered a hat-trick of clears as they battled against an initial starting field of thirty combinations before jumping to victory in the final jump-off. Perdita and Kayleighs Star produced one of just two treble clears as they crossed the finish line in a lightning fast 42.06 seconds.
