Morris Equestrian Centre in Fenwick, Ayrshire played host to the most recent of the 2018 Charles Britton Equestrian Construction Winter JA Classic Qualifiers and the classes ran during their 148cm Pony Premier Show at the weekend.

The qualifiers saw the field of starters vying for the top three qualifying places for the prestigious Charles Britton Equestrian Construction Winter JA Classic Championship, which will be held during the British Masters International Horse Show, at SouthView Equestrian Centre (29th June – 1st July 2018).

Fifteen year-old Charley Hamilton from Milltimber, Aberdeen took the top spot in Saturday’s qualifier on board Sarah Hamilton’s Novella II. The 11 year-old bay mare jumped with consistency delivering a hat trick of clears. There were eight through to the first jump off and a reduced number of five through to the final jump off. Charley guided the mare with accuracy to deliver one of just two clears in the all-important final round.
