Twelve keen combinations posted a first round clear to take their place in the jump off, where the technical track lead to a nail biting finale. Phoebe Sealey from Burnham-On-Sea added another qualification to her belt following her success in the National Amateur 0.95m Second Round at Chard Equestrian earlier this month. She rode her 16 year-old piebald gelding Santox and the partnership produced the winning round in 43.09 seconds.
Second place went to Laura Leigh from Wolverhampton riding her 21 year-old grey mare Swansong II. This combination eased across the finish line in 44.06 seconds.
Victoria Knight from Rooksbridge, Somerset slipped in to third place with her 14 year-old grey mare Charrat Z. This pair delivered the final double clear of the class in 52.60 seconds.
