Senior ODE and Area Novice Horse Trials.

On the 22nd July 2007, the Burghley ran their senior ODE together with the Area Novice Horse Trials. Despite the awful weather in the weeks leading up to this event, and the caution we were asked to adopt by Burghley, the competition took place, and a wonderful day was had by all.

 

Congratulations to our area team who came 4th. They consisted of Jessica Varley (placed 2nd in her arena and best Burghley receiving the Wedderburn Trophy ) Suzie Bliss, Lauren Dolby (best Burghley in her arena receiving the Fryer Trophy) and Alice Turner. Very well done to all of them. Thanks to the team manager, Sue Reynolds, the instructor, Milla Healey, the parents, and of course the girls and their mounts, for making it possible for the Burghley to field a team.

 

Our individual riders in the Novice were Lydia Chalmers, Danielle Jackson (who had two horses, placed 6th with Swift Spirit), Steffie Reynolds, Tamsyn Iveson, Charlotte Adams, Emily Lumb (5th), and in the Open were Rachel Spain (1st receiving the Hoy Trophy) Ben Scott and India Thompson. Well done to all of you.

 

Finally a special mention to all of you involved with the preparation, the organisation, the setting up and clearing away, and the truly smooth running of the day, thank you. These events could not happen without your help.
