In the final Speedi-Beet HOYS Grade C Qualifier at Bicton Arena in Salterton, Devon, three talented riders took home equal first place and they were William Fletcher, Gail Burchmore and Emily Rowe.
With the remaining three qualification places on offer for the Speedi-Beet HOYS Grade C Final at the Horse of the Year Show, each of the thirty competitors had their sights set on claiming a place in the top three before taking on the technical course. With the first round seeing just three clear rounds posted, the riders elected to share the spoils and equal first place.
The fastest clear round was delivered by William Fletcher from Faringdon, Oxfordshire riding Graham Fletcher’s 11 year-old brown gelding, Persimmon. This pairing put their foot down to cross the finish line in 77.83 seconds.
Making the journey from Aberdare, Mid Glamorgan, Gail Burchmore put forward a strong round, riding All Byself, a 7 year-old bay gelding owned by Alan Thomas. This partnership jumped a foot perfect clear in 79.70 seconds.
The final clear of the day came from Emily Rowe from Southampton, Hampshire on board her 8 year-old chestnut gelding George. This combination took a slower line to leave all the fences standing in 82.83 seconds.
