Shropshire Academy strikes Gold!

Thursday 22 August 2013

All over the country, British Showjumping Junior Academies have been busy with training sessions, camps and the two day Inter-Academy Team Jumping competition, which was held on the 20th and 21st August at Weston Lawns EC, Bedworth. Over the two days, teams from all over the country battled to take home the medals, with Shropshire & Powys Area (25) enjoying particular success winning two Team Golds, a Team Silver (in the mini and maxi competitions) together with individual Gold, Silver and Bronze.

Under the expert tutelage of Pat Crann, who is the Academy’s lead Coach, the Team performed with a maturity beyond their years and experience with Lily Freeman- Attwood, Faye Sutton, Chloe Sutton and Imogen Marmont returning a score of 28.81 to take mini team title, with Lily also claiming silver individually.

Fielding two teams in the Maxi competition, Shropshire & Powys took both Gold and Silver with Danielle Brown, Callum Linning, Archie Rees and Olivia Poole (also third individually) coming out as the team on top, with Jesse Holmes, Faye Sutton, Imogen Marmont and Izzy Watson finsishing just a few penalties behind in the Silver position.

Olivia Poole capped a great team performance and a fantastic week by winning the individual Grown-ups section at the end of the second day, which rounded off a truly outstanding performance from all those concerned.
