CRAWLEY & HORSHAM - 17th February

We had one Novice team trek over to Sands Farm on the 17th Feb. Immie Long and Phoebe Wylam went clear in the scurry but just not fast enough. Then in the teams we were the first to go and set the pace by going clear. Then was the wait, but for once in lovely fairly warm sunshine, for the rest of the teams. After the first round 11 teams had gone clear. The organisers decided that all team members should jump off and we finished with 4 faults. Unfortunately we did not get into the placing but all had a wonderful day. The team were Immie Long, Harriet Sutton, Charlotte Simmons and Phoebe Wylam. Phoebe did particulary well as she hasn't show jumped for quite a while and had kindly stepped in at the last moment.  

EAST SUSSEX - 7th February

Eridge had one Mini team competing at the East Sussex competition at Golden Cross: Charlotte Sykes, Sarah Hickling, Hugo Toyne-Bridges and Jessica Sparkes. They were unlucky to drop a couple of poles in the first round, finishing on 8 faults. They all had to jump off for the placings and all tried really hard, but three riders unfortunately had first pole-itis! The height of the fences in the jump off were certainly causing quite a few problems, with quite a few stops and poles flying! Well done to the team for ending up in 4th place and congratulations to Sarah for 2 lovely clear rounds in her first ever Mini team competition.

 

We had two novice teams competing: the Flyers - Harriet McLusky, Charlotte Simmons, Immie Long and Georgie Sykes and the Dancers - Phoebe Toyne-Bridges, Cornelia Bentsen, Hannah Jenner and Katie Aspinall. Cornelia did really well and came 5th in the scurry and both our teams were the only ones to go clear in the first round so had to jump off against each other. The Flyers finished 1st with the Dancers following with a close 2nd. Everyone had a brilliant time and for once stayed dry.

Finally Charotte Hutchinson won the Dengie which was a fantastic finish to the day.

The first day was the turn of the Mini Mini and Novice teams. We had one Mini Mini team: Zoe Rumens, Issy Porter, William Todd-Dunning and Sophie Sparkes. They did brilliantly to finish the first round on zero putting them through to the jump off where they all rode lovely rounds ending up in 5th place - well done!

We had two Novice teams competing: the Dancers - Lottie Carter, Liberty Marden, Cosi Tibbles and Millie Bresnahan, and the Flyers - Charlotte Simmons, Immie Long, Sophie Rist and Harriet McLusky. First was the scurry and Liberty did really well and came 3rd. For the teams there were 19 in total and out of that only 8 went clear including both Eridge teams who all jumped clear. In the jump off we had to select one member from each team so Liberty went for the Dancers and Harriet for the Flyers. Unfortunately a pole was dropped but we did extremely well and finished 4th for Dancers and 6th for the Flyers. Well done!

On the Sunday, we had one team in the Mini competition: Katya Visser, Hannah Jenner, Cornelia Bentsen and Bella Nichols, who were up against 16 other teams. 3 clear rounds put them through to the jump off where Katya jumped a fantastic round, only seconds behind the winning time, putting the team into 5th place. 

We had one Open team consisting of Jess Turner, Matt Porter, Marianne Blaxland and Alicia Earee. In the scurry Matt did really well and came 4th. Then for the teams we came 5th out of 13. Only one team jumped clear and the rest was decided on faults and times. Alicia did really well jumping clear each time. Thankyou very much to everyone for turning out on such a cold weekend.

EAST SUSSEX - 22nd November

We had one Mini team competing - Immie Long, Charlotte and Katya Visser, and Hugo Toyne-Bridges. They finished the first round on 4 faults and then all had to jump off for placings. They all jumped lovely rounds to finish in 4th place.

We also had two Novice teams, the Flyers - Harriet Mclusky, Millie Bresnahan, Katie Hickling & Sophie Windsor-Burrell, and the Dancers - Ellie Duggan, Georgie Sykes, Sophie Rist and Phoebe Toyne-Bridges. The Dancers finished the first round on 8 faults which put them into 8th place. The Flyers jumped off for placings after finishing the first round on 4 faults and ended up in 7th place.

Congratulations to Georgie who came 5th in the Novice warm-up class, and to Millie who won the Dengie Qualifier and to Sophie Windsor-Burrell who managed to qualify two ponies! Very well done to them.

Thanks to East Sussex for organising a good day, despite the awful weather!

 

ERIDGE - 24th & 25th October

RESULTS

 

SOUTHDOWN WEST - 8th August

This year there were an amazing amount of entries for the Southdown West interbranch competition held at Hickstead - 36 Mini teams, 36 Novice teams and 34 Open teams. We thought that we would be jumping in the dark! For the novice we had the Eridge Flyers - Harriet McLusky, Cosi Tibbles, Charlotte Newman & Sophie Windsor-Burrell, and the Eridge Dancers - Beth Stephens, Jess Carling, Liberty Marden & Marianne Blaxland. Charlotte and Liberty both did nice double clears. The winning team finished on 4 faults and our Eridge Flyers finished on 8 faults. The placings were decided on time penalties and they ended up in 6th place.

For the Opens we had the Blue team - Emma Howard, Emily Erde, Lauren McLusky & Lily Pearl, and the Purple team - Alicia Earee, Emily Erde, Alycia Port & Matthew Porter. Emily on Queen Emery, Lauren, Alicia Earee and Matt all did lovely double clears and the Blue team finished on equal 2nd but, after taking into account time penalties, they were placed 4th.

One of our Mini teams was unfortunately balloted out of the competition, so Eridge Minis were represented by just one team comprising Immie Long, Millie Bresnahan, Abbie La Rooy and Charlotte Simmons. They did brilliantly finishing on zero after the first two rounds. This put them through to the jump off, along with 12 other teams, and they ended up in 6th place overall.

Well done everyone for surviving such a long day and for doing so well - a good set of results for Eridge!

 

AREA - 1st August

The Area Qualifier was held at Hole Park, Rolvenden. Eridge didn't manage to qualify for the Championships this year, but everyone jumped very well and all teams were placed.

The Open team of Matt Porter, Lauren McLusky and Lily Pearl came 5th. Lily got through to the jump off as an individual but unfortunately dropped a pole otherwise would have come 2nd. The Intermediate team - Charlotte Hutchinson, Emma Howard, Kath Port and Alycia Port came 7th. The Novice team - Alex Young, Cosi Tibbles, Harriet McLusky and Marianne Blaxland got through to the jump off but they all dropped a pole so came 6th out of 19 teams.

 

SOUTHDOWN EAST - 14th June

The Eridge Novices had a great day at Southdown East Pony Club Team Show Jumping with three teams competing: Red - Lotte Carter, Cosima Tibbles, Harriet McLusky, Matthew Porter, Blue - Liberty Marden, Charlotte Simmons, Elise La Rooy, and Purple - Georgie Sykes, Beth Stephens, Charlotte Newman and Chloe Hagger. We started with a scurry and Matthew came 4th and Cosi 5th. Then came the teams. Eridge Red and Crawley and Horsham were the only teams to go through on 0. Five teams had 8 faults so had to nominate one person to jump off. Charlotte Newman had the honour for the Purples. The final result was Eridge Red winning with all team members going clear taking the prize from last years winners. Our Purple team came 5th and unfortunately the Blues did not get placed. Everyone had a really good time and thoroughly enjoyed themselves.

We had one Small Novice team competing - Ellie Horne, Jordan Groom, Bella Nichols and Maddy Ward. Luck was not on their side and they weren't placed this time. Well done to Ellie for being placed 3rd in the individual class.

We also had a Mini Mini team competing - Charlotte Beldham, Issy Porter, Ella D'Alton & Michaela Holding, all of whom were experiencing their first team show jumping competition. They were one of the youngest teams competing and did Eridge proud by all jumping clear in the first round. Charlotte was chosen to do the jump off for the team and was unlucky not to go clear so unfortunately they weren't placed, but very well done anyway!

 

ERIDGE - 8th March

We had 2 Mini Mini teams competing, the Monkeys - Jade Grant-Renwick, Mattie Hayes, Hattie Bunday & William Todd-Dunning, and the Chipmunks - Sarah Hickling, Elizabeth Weighell, Velvet Turner & Charlotte Sykes. Unfortunately, things didn't quite go according to plan for the Monkeys, but the Chipmunks did well to finish in 7th place.

There were also 2 Mini teams, the Swallows - Hannah Jenner, Millie Bresnahan, Abbie La Rooy & Immy Long, and the Amazons - Bella Nichols, Bella Harris, Jordan Groom & Cornelia Bentsen. The Swallows were very unlucky with just a few poles preventing them from getting through to the jump off. The Amazons did get through however and did very well to finish in 4th place. Congratulations to Abbie La Rooy who was 2nd in the Mini individual class.

We were able to put out 3 Small Novice teams, the Lions - Cosi Tibbles, Ellie Horne, Phoebe Wylam & Ellie Duggan, the Tigers - Charlotte Simmons, Katie-Ann Hickling, Matthew Porter & Ollie Halcrow, and the Pumas - Anna Hollis, Katie & Annabelle Wallbridge, & Marianne Blaxland. The Pumas were unlucky just to roll a few poles, the Lions finished on 4 faults ending up in 7th place, and the Tigers made it through to the jump off where Matthew jumped a cracking round to put them into 2nd  place.  Congratulations to Cosi who came 2nd in the individual class, and to Marianne who came 6th.

Well done to everyone who competed and a big thankyou to everyone who helped out on the day.

NORTH WEST KENT - 22nd February

We sent two teams to the NW Kent Interbranch Show Jumping which was held at Eaglesfield Equestrian Centre. The competition took place in the newly surfaced huge indoor arena. It was very well organised and the course was full up but fair.

The Mini Mini team comprised Sarah Hickling on Bee, Zoe Rumens on Princess, William Todd-Dunning riding Roly Poly and Mattie Hayes on Herbie. We had a mixed bag of success in both the scurry and team competition. Sarah jumped two lovely clear rounds, unfortunately just out of the placings in the scurry. Well done to Mattie who jumped a super clear round in his first ever team competition. We finished in a very creditable 4th place - well done to you all.

Unfortunately our Mini team comprised just 3 members, Katie-Ann on Jasper, Millie Bresnahan on Bunny and Pheobe Toyne Bridges on Hans. Luck wasn't on our side and we didn't manage to get into the jump off. Congratulations to Millie who did a great clear in the scurry and team competition on her new pony Bunny.

 

EAST SUSSEX - 1st February

We had three Mini teams competing on yet another freezing cold day at Golden Cross, the Wizards - Charlotte Simmons, Phoebe Wylam, Ellie Duggan & Anna Hollis, the Rockets - Hannah Jenner, Abbie La Rooy, Cosi Tibbles & Matthew Porter, and the Crackers - Immy Long, Millie Bresnahan, Esther Akehurst & Bella Nichols. The Wizards and the Crackers were very unlucky not to make it through to the jump off but the Rockets all went clear to go through with 7 other teams. Cosi was selected to do the jump off on her new pony Dotty and did a very speedy clear to put the team into 3rd place. Well done the Rockets!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Congratulations to Ellie Duggan who came 8th in the Novice Individual class. The Novice teams were much diminished due to the adverse weather which set in during the afternoon but very well done to Charlotte Hutchinson and Elise La Rooy who braved the elements and ended up joining teams of other branches. They did Eridge proud, both jumping lovely clear rounds for their teams.

 

ARDINGLY - 2nd & 3rd January

The first day was the turn of the Mini Mini and Novice teams. We had one Mini Mini team who were unfortunately down to three: Sarah Hickling, Millie Bresnahan & Bella Harris. Everyone tried their hardest in the team competition and they finished in 7th place - well done!

We managed to send three Novice teams: the Hawks - Alex Young, Harriet McLusky, Marianne Blaxland & Lotte Carter; the Owls - Amy Allen, Flossie May-Winter, Harriet Sutton & Ollie Halcrow, and the Falcons - Alicia Earee, Amelie David, Vicky May-Winter & Toni Bohane. In the scurry, both Lotte and Amelie did really well to get placed. There were 19 teams to jump in the Novice and the course proved quite difficult with very few clear rounds. All the Eridge teams were very unlucky with just a few dislodged poles preventing them from getting into the jump off. The Hawks did the best of the Eridge teams, finishing on 4 faults. The times from the first round were used to determine the placings and they came 6th.

We had two teams for the Mini competition: the Red team - Ellie Duggan, Phoebe Wylam, Abbie La Rooy & Charlotte Simmons, and the Blue team - Hannah Jenner, Bella Nichols, Robert Lloyd & Matthew Porter. Well done to Charlotte who was placed in the scurry. Everyone in the Red team jumped clear in the first round of the team competition putting them into the jump off. Unfortunately, things didn't go so well for the Blue team who didn't make it through. After a very exciting jump off and some cracking rounds by the Eridge girls, they ended up in 3rd place - very well done!

We had one team for the Open: Harriet Colderick, Lauren McLusky, Josie Duggan and Lily Pearl. Well done to Harriet Colderick who came 7th in the scurry. There were 11 teams to jump and only 2 teams got through to the jump off, one of them being Eridge. They all jumped brilliant clear rounds which put them into 1st place - a fantastic end to two days of fierce competition!!

Harriet Colderick wins at Royal Windsor 

We nominated five members to represent the Branch at The Royal Windsor Horse Show on Sunday 17th May in the Pony Club Show Jumping competition. The nominations were restricted and ultimately Harriet Colderick and Lily Pearl were chosen to jump for Eridge. The competition was held on the surface of the new Frogmore Ring. The first round was 1.10m and was open to representatives of all Branches in the UK. Lily and her horse Penny did extremely well and just rolled a pole in the first round which was unfortunate but Harriet and Echo I am delighted to say won the class with only three clears in the jump off. This is a fantastic result for Harriet and Echo, and for the Branch, so a big well done to you H. on behalf of us all!

19 teams had qualified for the Championships. On the Eridge team we had Alice and Iona McCaul, Lily Pearl and Fiona Hamilton. Unfortunately we didn't get through to jump in the main arena but everyone thoroughly enjoyed the day.

AREA - 26th July

The Area SJ took place at Hole Farm, Rolvenden on yet another very hot day. We had a Novice team who were Alex Young, Jess Turner, Marianne Blaxland & Katherine Sands, and an Intermediate team - Emma Howard, Harriet Colderick, Ellie McLaren and Lily Pearl. The Intermediates came 6th in the Tack and Turnout but unfortunately did not manage to qualify for the Championships.

Well done to the West Kent Meopham Intermediates for qualifying and to the Southdown East Novices.

MID SURREY - Walton on the Hill, 29th June

This year, Mid Surrey hosted the Bullock Cup, Eclipse Shield and Hickstead Qualifier. Congratulations to the Eridge Blue team of Lotte Carter, Will Johnson, Charlotte Newman & Emma Howard who came 3rd in the Bullock Cup, out of a total of 25 teams! Congratulations also to Kathleen Port who was 6th in the individual class.

There were 18 Mini teams in the competition for the Eclipse Shield. Unfortunately, the Eridge team of Jordan Groom, Cosi Tibbles, Ellie Horne & Phoebe Wylam finished on an unlucky 4 faults, just missing out on the jump off. Well done to Ellie and Jordan who came 8th & 9th respectively in the Mini Individual class.

Finally, congratulations to the Open team of Alice & Iona McCaul, Ellie McClaren and Lily Pearl who came 3rd, qualifying for the National Pony Club Championships to be held at Hickstead on 6th August. Good luck to them!

Thanks to Sharon Newman for the photos

SOUTHDOWN EAST - Wivelsden Farm, 14th June

Eridge were well represented at the SDE competition this year with one Novice team, two Mini teams and two Mini Mini teams entered. 

Congratulations to Cosi Tibbles who came 2nd in the Novice individual. Unfortunately, luck wasn't on the side of the Novice team - Cosi, Tom Parminter, Jess Turner & Yas Chapman, who just had a couple of poles down taking them out of the reckoning.

The Red Mini team - Jordan Groom, Katie-Ann Hickling, Laura Goodhew & Phoebe Wylam all went clear in the first round of the team competition. Jordan jumped off for the team and produced a very fast clear putting the team into 2nd place. The Blue team - Hannah Jenner, Melissa Marsh, Ellie Horne & Anna Hollis finished the first round on 8 faults putting them into 8th place.

The Mini Minis were represented by the Wizards - Rosie Filmer, Millie Bresnahan, Immy Long & Jade Grant-Rennick, and the Crackers - Esther Akehurst, Bella Harris, Jessica Sparkes & Velvet Turner. The course was quite testing with lots of bright, scary fillers and caused quite a few problems in the individual warm-up class, although not for Velvet and Timber who were placed 5th - well done to them! Fortunately, everyone was in better form for the team competition. The Wizards finished the first round on zero, and the Crackers on a very unlucky 4 faults. Velvet was chosen to jump off for the Crackers and did very well to secure 5th place for her team. All of the Wizards had to jump off and they all produced fabulous fast clear rounds to WIN the competition! The winning margin was less than a second so it was extremely exciting! So well done to everyone - a good day for Eridge.

WEST KENT SEVENOAKS - The Hop Farm, 4th May

Eridge were represented at the Hop Farm by a mixed Mini/Novice team, with Laura Goodhew, Tom Parminter, Marianne Blaxland and Fiona Blaxland. It was a very long day, with each team member jumping 2 rounds and then a jump-off for placings. Eridge finished both rounds on an unlucky 4 faults, finishing 9th out of a total of 17 teams. A special mention for Tom, representing Eridge on a showjumping team for the first time - he did it in fine style, jumping 2 lovely clear rounds.

OPEN DENGIE CHAMPIONSHIPS

CONGRATULATIONS to Lily Pearl and Emily Erde who both qualified for the OPEN DENGIE SHOW JUMPING CHAMPIONSHIPS at Moreton Morrell on 29th March. Emily wasn't able to go to the Championships but Lily did make the long journey up to Warwickshire. She did extremely well but unfortunately didn't make it through to the jump off, finishing the first round on 8 faults. The course was so testing that there were only two clear rounds in the whole competition, so to finish on only 8 was quite an achievement! Well done Lily and Miss Moneypenny.

ERIDGE - Golden Cross, 9th March

CRAWLEY & HORSHAM - 19th & 20th February

Another win for the Eridge Show Jumpers! This time it was the Intermediates - Emily Erde, Harriet Long, Harriet Colderick and Rachel McGuckin. They had six teams in the jump off with everyone jumping and we were the first to go, so the pressure was on but we managed to hold our own and keep in the lead which was fantastic. Well done to the team.

We had 2 Mini teams jumping in the morning, the Rockets - Jordan Groom, Phoebe Wylam, Cosi Tibbles & Josh Hill, and the Crackers - Elise La Rooy, Katie-Ann Hickling, Ashlin Rolph & Laura Goodhew. Josh did brilliantly to come 3rd in the Individual Scurry, out of 75 competitors! The Crackers were unlucky not to get through to the jump off. The Rockets all jumped clear in the first round but unfortunately were unplaced in the jump off. Thanks to everyone for competing and a special mention to Laura Goodhew who stepped in at the last minute and jumped a lovely clear for her team.

The following day was the turn of the Novices and they had an early start (some much earlier than others). There were 69 in the individual and 19 teams so there was a lot of competition. Unfortunately we ended up on four faults that day and didn't get through to the jump off but everyone enjoyed themselves and had a nice morning. Thankyou to Alex Young, Sally McGuckin, Jess Carling and Lotte Carter for taking part.

EAST SUSSEX - 9th February 

Eridge Minis win again! We had two teams entered in the competition held by East Sussex PC at Golden Cross. In the Red team were Amelie David, Ellie Duggan, Jordan Groom & Georgie Sykes and in the Blue team we had Katie-Ann Hickling, Elise La Rooy, Cosima Tibbles & Phoebe Wylam. All of the Red team went clear in the first round and all jumped off where they all went clear again and were the only team to finish on zero thus winning the competition. Well done! The Blue team did not have luck on their side but all jumped very well finishing in 6th place. Congratulations to Katie-Ann who came 7th in the individual scurry.

We had two teams entered in the Novice competition. There was a scurry as a warm up and Charlotte Hutchinson on Bobby came 8th! Well done. There were 11 novice teams and we were 2nd and 5th to jump. After the first round we were on 4 faults and 8 faults and by the end of the first round no one had gone clear and only two had finished on 4 faults. The whole of our first team had to jump off and we won!! The winning team were Lotte Carter, Alex Young, Charlotte Newman and Harriet McLusky. Our second team were Will Johnson, Charlotte Hutchinson, Jess Carling and Yas Chapman and they came 6th. Well done to all of you and lets see if this is the start of things to come.

ARDINGLY - 2nd & 3rd January

Eridge got off to a fantastic start this year at the Interbranch Showjumping at Ardingly. On the first day they swept the board, winning both the Open and the Mini team competitions. On the second day, luck wasn't on the side of the Novices but the Mini Minis did brilliantly to come 3rd.

We had two teams for the Open: the Eridge Flyers - Harriet Long, Harriet Colderick, Lauren McLusky and Emily Turner, and the Eridge Dancers - Henry Armstrong, Alycia Port, Nat Groom and Katherine Sands. All did nice rounds for the Scurry though no one got placed. There were 12 teams to jump and the Eridge Flyers were the only team to jump clear so won without even having to jump off. Well done! Unfortunately the Eridge Dancers did not do so well finishing on penalties but still did well considering several teams got eliminated.

We also had two teams for the Mini competition: the Blue team - Josh Hill, Ollie Halcrow, Serena Venables & Robert Lloyd, and the Red team - Jordan Groom, Georgie Sykes, Ellie Duggan & CC Rowson. Eridge showed their form in the scurry with Josh winning, CC coming 3rd and Ellie 4th! Every single team member then jumped clear in the first round of the team competition putting both teams through to the jump off. As only 5 teams out of the 14 made it through, everyone had to jump against the clock. The Eridge Blue team came out the winners, and hot on their heels were the Eridge Red team in 2nd place, the margin between the 2 teams being less than a second! A fantastic result for the Minis and very well deserved!

The next day was the turn of the Mini Mini and Novice teams. We had 2 Mini Mini teams: the Eridge Rockets - Phoebe Wylam, Esther Akehurst, Hannah Jenner & Melissa Marsh, and the Eridge Crackers - Velvet Turner, Georgie Kirk, Fraser Simmonds & Millie Bresnahan. Everyone tried their hardest in the team competition - Velvet and Fraser jumped lovely clear rounds for the Crackers but unfortunately Georgie's and Millie's ponies weren't as obliging as they might have been! The Rockets did very well, getting through to the jump off where Phoebe jumped a cracking round putting them into 3rd place, out of a total of 13 teams. A great result! Congratulations also to Velvet who came 9th in the Individual scurry.

We managed to send three Novice teams: the Red team - Charlotte Newman, Alex Young, Harriet McLusky & Lotte Carter; the Blue team - Jess Turner, Marianne Blaxland, Yas Chapman & Kathleen Port; and the Green team - Seb Spencer, Jess Carling, Will Johnson & Alicia Earee. In the scurry, several members did some lovely clear rounds and Kathleen Port was placed 9th out of 94 riders. Well done! There were 22 teams to jump in the Novice and our Blue team got through to the jump off but unfortunately did not get placed.

Both days were run very efficiently and smoothly and, considering the number of entries, we finished both days in reasonable time. Special thanks to Angie Whittington who did a fantastic job as team trainer for the Mini & Mini Mini teams.
