Dodson & Horrell 0.95m National Amateur Second Round
Fourteen of the twenty-six starters made it through to the jump off in this second round and it proved to be an ultra-competitive with eight combinations going on to produce double clears.
Adding to their success from last weekend in the 0.85m second round at Leamside Equestrian was the combination of Samantha McNicholas from Darlington, County Durham with her own 13 year-old chestnut gelding Vayrann. Samantha and Vayrann lead the jump off from the start after laying down the gauntlet with a double clear in 34.06 seconds. This was a result that was to prove unbeatable.
Second place was taken by Sophie Shepherdson from Scarborough, North Yorkshire with her own 9 year-old grey gelding Park Pippin. This combination produced their second foot perfect round in just 35.07 seconds to give them their place inside the top two.
Katie Benbow from Goole, North Humberside took third with her father Simon’s 9 year-old chestnut mare Ruby St Loise after they produced their double clear in 35.17 seconds.
