Thirty-two combinations came forward to take on Ian Clark’s eleven fence track with seventeen going through to the jump-off. The competition looked fierce as ten of those combinations produced a double clear with all eyes turning to the clock to decide on placings.
It was Georgina Beeson from Grindley, Staffordshire who made her trip a successful one when she piloted Barbara Beeson’s Jazzy Footwork, a 13 year-old Irish bred mare whom Georgina has ridden for four years, to victory in the fastest time of the class. The pair crossed the finish line in 31.12 seconds, 1.37 seconds ahead of second placed Carole Gleave and her own Bellatrix IV.
