Dengie Winter League Dressage Championships, Moreton Morrell 5 April
Very well done to both our qualifying members, Sam Foxall & Chloe Vell, who rode exceptional tests to finish in 4th and 5th place in their respective Novice & Open sections. Brilliant!
"Having qualified for the Novice and open competition in the Dengie Winter League we had to travel over to Northop College in Wales for the area final. Once there I warmed up in the outdoor arena then went in to the indoor to ride my test. The results were soon announced and I was presented with 2nd place, qualifying for the national final. Chloe Vell then rode in the open competition coming 4th also qualifying for the national final."
"Two weeks later we travelled down to Moreton Morrell in Warwickshire, where we would also compete in the Dressage To Music team competition with Antonia Oakes and Leona Lock-Williams. After an early start I prepared for my test, getting Jeremy ready and warming him up and I was soon called into the arena. Jeremy started off quite spooky with the flowers and decorated arena, but soon settled before completing a nice test. Chloe was next to ride with her test also going well."
"At the end of a long day we both remounted for the presentation, where I was placed 4th in the Novice and Chloe 5th in the Open."
