Show Jumping (and Teams for 2008)

 

2007 was a great year for all Suffolk Hunt Teams, especially the Intermediate Show Jumping Team who, as you probably know by now, won the Championships.  Congratulations to you all.

If you would like to be part of the Show Jumping Teams for 2008 tthen put yourselves forward.  If you are out and about and competing at 2ft 6" (85cm) and above then let the team managers know you are interested.

Here is a short report from Helen Mulhern, and hopefully this will encourage to you to come forward.

"Based at Shelford, Nottingham, the Pony Club Championships took place between 19thand 23rd August. It was a massive event with teams representing Pony Clubs from all over the country at Polocrosse, Mounted games, Eventing, Dressage, Pony Care as well as Show jumping.

 

Suffolk Hunt’s show jumping team members, Deben and Adrienne Howlett, Emily Phizacklea and Helen Mulhern out-classed the Avon Vale Hunt PC in an exciting jump off against the clock. Adrienne Howlett took on her sisters ride Moment of Madness and produced three stunning clear rounds; one against the clock in the fastest time of the day. Deben Howlett’s experience came to the fore as she guided her young horse Lavenham Rogue Trader round a challenging second round course and jump off. 3rd team member Emily Phizacklea riding Machu Pichue, continued the team success with consistent and accurate jumping through out the day.  Last to jump in the competition was Helen Mulhern with Secret Stowaway. Team success lay in their hands and Stowaway saved his best performance till last delivering a speedy clear round when it mattered most. The team were stunned and elated; the mud and the rain didn’t matter any more!"
