Dodson & Horrell 1.05m National Amateur Second Round.
This second round was contested by fifteen combinations, eleven of whom produced the first round clear required for a place in the jump off. Just two double clears were eventually produced.
Ellie-Louise Francis, aged 18, from Reading, Berkshire, took victory on her father Thomas’ 10 year-old grey mare Gatestown Diva. Drawn fourth to go in the jump off and with having seen no double clears produced before her; Ellie-Louise knew that a foot perfect round would put her in contention for the win. She went on to deliver a double clear on her ride in 39.54 seconds and this was to prove unbeatable.
Philippa Stanley, 24, from Southampton, Hampshire secured second place with her own 8 year-old chestnut gelding Smart De L Heureux. They produced the second double clear of the class in 45.79 seconds to ensure that they finished inside the top two.
Third place went to 15 year-old Olivia Leaning from Horsham, West Sussex on board her mother Jane’s 11 year-old bay mare All That Jazz X. Picking up 4 faults in the latter part of the course, this combination took their place in the top three after stopping the clock in 35.24 seconds.
