Fifteen year-old Fraser Reed made the journey from St Andrews, Fife worthwhile as he stormed to victory following a nail biting two horse jump off. From the initial line up of twenty six, Fraser posted a strong clear on board Barrie Truelove’s 16 year-old bay mare, Quilitymaes Z, to make it through to the first jump off alongside just three other competitors. Posting a further clear round, this pair booked a place in the final jump off. With two talented riders going head to head, the clock was the all-important deciding factor as they produced clears, but it was Fraser and Quilitymaes Z who posted the faster time, crossing the finish line in 45.69 seconds.
Thirteen year-old Shaunie Greig from Dumfermline, Fife scooped up second place on board Anne Greig’s 14 year-old bay gelding, Casino Royale VIII. After matching Fraser Reed clear for clear, this pair narrowly missed out on top spot after finishing just over a second slower in 46.77 seconds.
