With an effortless performance, Richard Nichol from Carlisle, Cumbria jumped to victory on Sunday in the Dodson & Horrell 0.85m National Amateur Second Round held at the Ian Stark Equestrian Centre in Selkirk, Scotland.

 

As the Dodson & Horrell National Amateur Championships, held at Aintree Equestrian Centre in Liverpool between the 14th – 19th November, loom ever closer, qualification was at the forefront of everyone’s minds.

Taking second place was 17 year-old Persia Bhatia from Peeblesshire, Scotland and she rode Catriona Bhatia’s 14 year-old black mare Molly XIII to a double clear in 38.08 seconds.
