Wow – HUGE congratulations to our Senior 70cm team, who only went and WON their class on Saturday at the BRC NAF Five Star Championships in Lincoln! 
Well done to:
Sally Badger and Belfast Boy
Casey Rose and Gew Tanzanite
Samantha Hadley and Emporers Roulette
Emma, Sally, Casey and Sam were absolutely fantastic all day and, after their first two jumping rounds had been completed, were in equal first place with Cambridge and District Riding Club. They all had to complete a final jump off round, and we’re so proud to say that they all held their nerve and came out on top – National Champions!
Competing against 24 teams who had all won Regional Qualifiers to get to the Championships in the first place, claiming the top spot is a fantastic achievement for our Senior 70 team.
The rest of our Seniors and Juniors also had a fantastic weekend at the Championships, with Molly Staite and My Mr Darcey also bringing home a sash for their third place in the Junior 90.
We had several other top ten placings, including:
