St Helen’s Show Jumping Squad

The St Helen’s show jumping squad had their first outing as a team on 29th December at Duckhurst show centre in Maidstone. They competed in the 40m and 50m classes. There were 21 entries in each competition meaning the competition was very fierce. Only 1st to 6th would qualify for the championships in the Summer.

Kiki, Jessie, Isabelle and Sylvia all entered as a team and individually.

In the 40cm class Kiki had a great round on her pony Sunny and took 3rd place. Jessie and her pony Flossie came 6th. Sylvia found a lovely clear round but unfortunately wasn’t placed and Isabelle had an unfortunate fall.

In the 50cm class Kiki had a fantastic round and won. Sylvia rode a lovely round and came 3rd. Unfortunately Jessie’s pony decided to stop at fence 4 and Isabelle’s pony also refused to jump at fence 3.

Well done girls.
