The Novice team of Katrina Harris, Rhia Honey, Alice White and Holly Carter came 2nd, which means thatthey qualify for the Novice Championships in Cheshire. Dressage - The Open team of Georgie Frank, Grace Bovill, Victoria Dance and Courtenay Argyle came 5th n what was a very hotly contested competitionwith just 1 point between the 2nd and 5th teams! In the Intermediate competition Annaliese Turnbull and Alice White were both 6th in their arenas, and atthe Novice level Rebecca James came 4th Show JumpingThe Open team of Hannah Turnbull, Georgie Frank and Scarlett Harter came 3rd, which is South Berks best show jumping result foryears, Georgie Frank completed one of the few double clears in the competition and got into the jump off - she did brilliantly to come 4th, and narrowly missed qualifying for the Championships. Our Mini Team of Charlie Pike Jones, Hannah Webber, Katie Mills and Abby Faulkner had a great day and came 4th after their jump off Well done to all the other competitors (too numerous to mention everyones name!) who all worked hard over the year and represented us at the Area Qualifiers- You all did so well and were a credit to the South Berks - we hope that we will see you, and lots of newcomers as well, at next years competitions. ***Good Luck to all those who qualified for the Championships*** Lucinda Green Training Some of our members were lucky enough to attend a Cross Country training session with Lucinda Green at Boomerang in August. Many of the members involved had earned vouchers towards the cost of the session by helping out at Junior and Mini camp. Feedback frommembers and parents was very positive - they felt that Lucinda was a fantastic trainer and managed to give a lot of individual help with the result that most people had got their ponies going better by the end of the session.
