This week, Coombelands Equestrian was full of showjumping action, including the Prestige Italia Big Star Championship Qualifier. 32 combinations came forward to navigate their horses through three courses, aiming for a treble clear to qualify for the Prestige Italia Six-Year-Old Championship Final at the Young Horse Show, taking place at Hickstead in August.

The ten combinations to achieve triple clears were:

Shane Breen & BE Grayson
Shane Breen & Z7 For T
Lucy Townley & Billy On My Mind
Lucy Townley & Billy Wagner
Lottie Tutt & Billy Zazu
Alexandra Somerville Cotton & Heartbreakers Escape
Alex Hempleman & Billy Foster
Joe Clayton & Heartwin B Z
Myles West & Anderida Cedor
Sophie Lincoln & Cornets Quality Cruise

Riders in the Prestige Italia Six-Year-Old Championship will compete for the Big Star Trophy, awarded in honour of Nick Skelton’s 2016 Olympic gold medal winner. Any horse jumping a treble clear in one of the four Big Star qualifiers held between May and July will automatically be eligible for the £1,000 Big Star Bonus, which will be awarded in the Final.

NB: Results pending official grading
