AREA 5 SHOW JUMPING SATURDAY 25TH JUNE - REPORT Area 5 Show Jumping was held at a beautiful new in Little Budworth courtesy of the Brookes family. In the Grassroots class the branch was represented by two teams, some competing for Cheshire Hunt North for the first time. The Lions team was made up of Sophie Sellers, Emily Phillips, Laura Cathie and Ella Booth. The Tigers team had Daisy Such, Emily Rowland and Phillipa Meachin. It was a large arena with a very twisty course and slightly undulating ground. As a result there were quite a few poles in both rounds. The girls all rode beautifully and were a credit to the branch. The Lions were placed sixth and whilst the Tigers were out of the rosettes, both teams qualified for the Grassroots Regional Finals at Eland Lodge in August. Next was the Novice (90cm) class. This time we were represented by Ellie Thomas, Kiera Booth, Jess Proudman and Libby Acton, with Archie Thomson as an individual. This time the course seemed even trickier and despite some very determined riding there were very few individuals, and no teams, on clear after 2 rounds, so the top teams had to jump a third round to separate them. This was much to the surprise of the CHN team who had put their ponies away! They were delighted to finish in third in the class. In the Intermediate we just had two individuals- Luci Glassbrook and Imogen Kennedy. Imogen jumped a brilliant double clear on her pony Tango, who was by far the smallest pony in the class. They were delighted to be placed second overall and qualified for the PC Intermediate Championships at Cholmondely in August. Fantastic riding Imi! Finally it was time for the Open class and this time the branch team was Emmie Davidson-Slack, Maia Hodgson, Hannah Fallon and Tessa Hemming. There was some strong riding but still some poles fell on the now rather slippery ground. There were only three double clears in the whole class and after the two rounds the team was placed third, with Tessa individually sixth after a clear in the second round. Well done to everyone who rode for Cheshire Hunt North. Everyone looked extremely smart and there was great team spirit as well as some excellent riding. Thank you to Cheshire Hunt South and Waen Y Llyn for running the event, and to the Brookes family for the venue.
