Carmen Edwards takes the top spot in the British Horse Feeds Speedi-Beet HOYS Grade C Qualifier at The Cheshire Horse Show

Formerly known as the Warrington Horse Show, this year’s Cheshire Horse Show, held at Tabley Park near Knutsford, Cheshire, proved to be a popular choice with riders as forty-three combinations came forward on Bank Holiday Monday with the hopes for the British Horse Feeds Speedi-Beet HOYS Grade C Qualifier.

Course designer Susan Barratt set a first-round-track that only ten of the initial starters managed to defeat. Those ten were halved again as five combinations produced a double clear leaving the clock to decide who would gain the three qualifying tickets on offer for the British Horse Feeds Speedi-Beet HOYS Grade C Championship Final at Horse of the Year Show.

Carmen from Ellesmere, Shropshire produced an electric round on Carl Edwards’ Happy Valerie, a 7 year-old Dutch bred who Carmen has competed for two years, crossing the finish line with 3.27 seconds to spare in 42.50 seconds. Steph Callwood was Carmen’s closest rival aboard her own Opis Day, an 11 year-old British bred gelding, they posted a time of 45.77 seconds. Paul Barker gained third place with Tracy Holder’s Crispina Z, a 9 year-old mare who Paul and Tracey share the ride on, they finished in 46.33 seconds.
