With a treble clear the goal of each and every rider as this would book a place in the Nupafeed Supplements Senior Discovery Championship Final, which will be held during the British Showjumping National Championships in August, a competitive class unfolded.
Just five competitors took their place in the jump off after producing a double clear across the first two rounds, leading to a nail biting final round where all eyes fell on the all-important clock to decide the winner.
Local rider Laura Newson from Norwich, Norfolk gave the winning performance on board Gemma Wiffen’s 8 year-old bay gelding, E Brightwood Dorado. This pair really put their foot down to produce their treble clear a whopping 11.21 seconds ahead of the competition, crossing the finish line in 41.23 seconds.
Scooping second place was Chloe Coward from Peterborough, Cambridgeshire riding her own 5 year-old grey gelding, H Blokx. This combination took a slower line to ensure they finished with a treble clear in 52.44 seconds.
Taking home third place was Abigail Richards from Attleborough, Norfolk with her 11 year-old dark bay gelding Mulvin on the Ball. This partnership jumped the final treble clear of the class in a time of 58.54 seconds.
These three combinations will now go forward to the Nupafeed Supplements Senior Discovery Championship Final.
