Lancashire's Levi Critchlow crowned Dodson & Horrell National Amateur 1.10m Champion
The ever popular Dodson & Horrell National Amateur & Veteran Championships held at Aintree Equestrian Centre in Liverpool (14th – 19th November) were once again one of the highlights of the national showjumping calendar. Following six days of thrilling showjumping, six new National Champions were crowned.
The National Amateur Championships give amateur riders and horses the opportunity to contest an end of year final across four different heights of fences – 0.85cm, 0.95cm, 1.05m and 1.10m. The National Veteran Riders Championships are spilt into minor and major categories.
Levi Critchlow from Ormskirk, Lancashire scooped the 1.10m Championship title with his 7 year-old chestnut gelding, Valarico. They produced a blistering double clear in 27.36 seconds after a thirty-three horse class was whittled down to a fourteen horse jump off.
Over the challenging course, this pair showed their determination and an extremely pleased Levi said afterwards “I am really made up to be taking home the title and to do it on home soil with a home produced horse was the icing on the cake.
“Valarico and I won both 1.05m and 1.10m qualifiers to get here. We finished with a time fault in the 1.05m final but it is a great feeling to be able to ask a little bit more of him in the 1.10m and for him to step up so solidly.”
