This combination were able to produce the only clear round of the competition to stop the clock in 80.41 seconds.
Victoria Thompson, aged 14, from Cookstown, County Tyrone took home second place riding Colin Thompson’s 11 year-old skewbald gelding, Triple Treat.

Scooping third place was 13 year-old Marnie Green from Guide, Blackburn riding Koraika, a 15 year-old bay mare owned by Samantha Green. This pair finished with four faults in a time of 78.75 seconds.
