Cheshire Young Showjumper Emily Ward takes two championship titles at the Blue Chip Showjumping Winter Championships

Thursday 10 April 2014

Dreams and ambitions were realised in the 23rd year of the Blue Chip Showjumping Winter Championships 2nd-6th April held at Hartpury Arena in Gloucestershire.

An on-form Emily Ward (14) from Cheshire took two championships – the Halsall Electrical 1.25m on the 10 year-old bay mare Elite K and the Blue Chip Pro Sparkle JC/JA with the 14 year-old chestnut mare Dafina K both jointly owned by Monserrat Seara and Nick Ward. A tricky 1.25m jump-off track demanded respect. “There were some big verticals, set off too fast too early and they would catch you” said Emily, “I made sure I jumped the Olympic post box fence before I kicked on.”

Emily claimed the JC/JA for the second consecutive year. Last year, victory was courtesy of Wizard VIII.  This time, Dafina K stepped up to the plate. “She’s genuine and careful” said Emily, who shares the ride with Claudia Seara.

Running from October to March, eligible horse and rider combinations competed for the chance to qualify for the Blue Chip Showjumping Winter Championships at shows allocated all over the country.
