Triangular Dressage 3rd Leg - 3 April 2010
The East Cheshire team of Polly Feather, Sophie Feather, Ashley Daniel and Chloe Vell fought hard to try to win the trophy again for East Cheshire but it was not to be. We started after the second leg in second place by 46 points and could not make up the ground. We had a spooky start but also some excellent test riding in the first test and Ashley was placed 6th and Chloe 3rd . In the second test Chloe came 1st and Ashley 3rd.
The competition was fierce and the standard was very high, Polly and Sophie just missing out on the placings.
It was a lovely finish for Crewe, though, as they won the cup and as most know they closed the branch the next day so it was a fitting end and East Cheshire are fortunate to gain some of their members.
