Warwickshire Hunt Pony Club Success at Netley Hall
Posted on Friday, October 25, 2013 by Heather Dodd
On 27th July over 200 pony club competitors battled it out at the area 7 Novice Showjumping competition at Netley Hall in Shrophire. Congratulations to Holly Booth from the Warwickshire Hunt Pony Club who took individual first place in the novice section with her beautiful pony Wisdom. Holly did a lovely double clear and earned herself a place in the jump off. With a top speed of 35 seconds and some amazing tight turns she was very hard to beat. “I am delighted to have won” says Holly “after sadly being eleminated last year, I was determined to get to the championships this year”
The competition was tight and the atmosphere electric as the Warwickshire Hunt team of Holly Booth, Dani Chambers, Chloe Stevens and Honor Simcox took the Warwickshire Big Stars to 1st place victory winning them a day at the National Championships in Cheshire on 24th August.
A massive well done to Chloe Stevens on Miss D Piggy. Chloe also took 6th place individually with a lovely double clear. This was Chloe’s first time at an area competition and she pulled out all the stops! The Warwickshire Triple X’s, Eddie Cowper, Harry Rugman, Imogen Forster and Lorna Topp showed some excellent skill and had everyone very excited at the ringside, as they took their team into 3rd place, also earning themselves a place at the championships! Imogen Forster, also from the Warwickshire Hunt Pony Club took 7th place individually on her beautiful mare Riverdancer.
