Report by Carol Hogg, photos by Paul Ruffle

The 10th Winter Championships were held at Bury Farm, Slapton, Bucks on Saturday 2nd March 2014.

Attracting 80 riders from as far away as Launceston in Cornwall and Beverley in East Yorkshire we were very busy.  We started at 09.00am and finished a little after 4.00pm.

Bury Farm EC offers superb facilities with an enormous outdoor working in arena and the Olympic Games Legacy Arenas for the outdoor tests. There are also 3 smaller working in arenas and a superb Indoor International Arena which is light and bright.

With riders from the ages of 8 years through to 25 years everyone was catered for.

The standard was high – the judging fair and encouraging.

Prizes were fantastic. Every competitor went home with a medal – almost every rider with a Rosette and the 18 Champions won lovely Rugs, Sashes and Rosettes.

We were very lucky with the weather which remained dry until just as the last outdoor competitor finished and the prize giving was held Indoors.

The main prize winners were:

10 year old Holly Kerslake (above) on Millcroft Osiris with an amazing 78% in the Preliminary Challenge. Holly also won the Deirdre Scrimgeour memorial Plate for the highest BYRDS SW member.

Beth Barnett on 5 year old Don Johnson won the Novice Young Rider Championship scoring 77.50%.

Milly Moncrieff riding DST Don`t Panic won the Fledgling Novice Championships on 71.72% and also competed in her first Pony FEI Test gaining 63.90% in front of List 1 Judge Kim Ratcliffe.

Also in front of Kim was YR Jezz Palmer riding Roland Tong`s beautiful Ultimo Hit to gain 69.34% at their first Young Rider FEI competition together.

More superstars at the U25s Open Winter Dressage Championships:

Joanna Thurman-Baker – riding Piko

Milly Moncrieff with friend Geneva Low who rode Tristram Blue.

Ollie Booth on Hilkens Gold Card in the Winning Team.

Our fantastic team of helpers were 2013 European Pony Team Member Rebecca Bell and her mum Caroline. GB European YR Team Member Olivia Oakeley`s mum Katie and dad Rob and former member Steph Pike`s mum Linda.  A great day.

We also hope to have raised £500 for OCCTOPUS – Oxford Colon Cancer Trust.
