Bovington Equestrian
Junior Show Jumping Champs of GB
1
Bovington Equestrian’s show jumping competition held n Sunday 14th October attracted a record number of 110 entries.
The monthly competition featured five classes ranging from 2ft to 3ft3, with a challenging but fair course, designed by Stuart Collins, changing between classes.
In the last class (3ft-3.3) tricky psychedelic filler on jump number 9 meant many were eliminated just before the jump off. The course, however, was more forgiving in the smaller classes with 13 jumps spaced out over the immaculate international sized all-weather arena.
Winners were Class One Hannah Dun on Steve, Class Two Vicky Pope on Holly Class Three Dionne Slack on Bovril, Class Four Benedict Raymond on Mister Blue Sky and Class 5 which included the Preliminary Round of The Pony Club Dengie Winter League Show Jumping Competition was won by Lucy Hemmings on Diamond Chance from the Wilton Pony Club.
Although rain has forced Bovington to cancel their weekend›s hunter trial and team chase 21st October, an arena cross country competition took place instead. Whilst the psychedelic filler may not be there, the simulated cross country jumps included challenging skinnies, water obstacles and corners that kept spectators and perhaps riders on the edge of their seats.

Winners all round at the Junior Show Jumping Championships of Great Britain (Cricklands) and a good deal came from our region.
No rider won more than one Championship title at the Junior Show Jumping Championships of Great Britain, held at Cricklands (David Broome Event Centre) – although Ebony Cossey from Fivehead near Taunton had a good try.
Ebony and Tazmanian Devil were clear winners of the 2’6” Horse Championship, heading both Heats to ensure victory with maximum points. Despite winning the second Heat in the 2’9” Horse, her score of 30 points from an eighth place in the first Heat left the pair as runner-up to Millie Bartlett from Llanelli, Carmarthenshire. Millie, on board Thomas O’Malley, secured the Championship after winning the first Heat and coming fifth in the decider.
Shelby Johnstone denied Ebony and her other ride, Fable, the top spot in the 2’6” Pony Championship. Riding Bonnie, Shelby won both Heats with Ebony taking runner-up slot in each. Ebony and Fable were runners-up again in both Heats of the 2’9” Pony, just falling short of victory by five points as Abby Weaver rode Machno Sirian into third place in the first Heat and then won the decider.
A five-point margin was sufficient for Lydia Tatchell from Magor, Monmouthshire; riding Dreams of Gold, she didn’t win either Heat but gained a third and second place respectively to take the 2’3” Pony Championship.
Megan Trott from Honiton, Devon, had two wins on Rhoda to be the convincing winner in the 10 and Under 2’0” Pony Championship.
