Bedfordshire’s Young Showjumper Abbi Jackson wins the Dodson & Horrell 0.85m National Amateur Second Round at Arena UK

Abbi Jackson from Sandy, Bedfordshire on her mother Vikki’s 10 year-old bay gelding Christopher Robin IV scooped the victory in the Dodson & Horrell 0.85m National Amateur Second Round held during the Arena UK Festival of Showjumping in Grantham, Lincolnshire.

 

With qualifying for the Dodson & Horrell National Amateur Championships at Aintree Equestrian Centre in Liverpool (18th – 22nd November) a priority, each competitor was focused on taking one of the twelve direct qualifying places on offer in each class.

 

Abbi and Christopher Robin IV beat twenty-seven other combinations to take the top spot in this second round. They used a late draw in the jump off to their advantage, posting an accurate and fast round to finish up with a double clear in 33.14 seconds and this was to prove good enough for the win.

 

Gemma Dickens from Loughborough, Leicestershire took second place on Lesley Dickens’ 24 year-old bay gelding Oakley’s Ace after guiding him to a double clear in 35.84 seconds.

 

Fifteen year-old Mark Poskitt from Goole, North Humberside finished in third with his mother Clare’s 8 year-old brown mare Coromandel. This combination achieved their double clear in 36.95 seconds.
