Horse Week: Double wins for Emma and Scarlett as showjumping league concludes at Ecclesville

The qualified competitors were definitely up for the challenge of Raymond Caldwell’s courses as they twisted and turned to achieve the fastest times possible!

With this being the second of the leagues for 2024 and the second opportunity to get points on the Super League Leader Board, the top six in each class also won valuable points.

In December 2024 each class, from 60cm through to 1m, a perpetual trophy will be awarded to the rider and horse combination with the most points accumulated over the leagues.

The spectators were treated to the obligatory thrills and spills plus great displays of showjumping as the competitors had to try to be both careful and speedy to negotiate the course.

Emma Hamill and Cookie were on terrific form and took the win in both the 60cm and 70cm classes and were a very close second in the 80cm class.

The winner of the 80cm class was Sophie Johnston riding the very speedy Ben. The 90cm and 1m classes were then won by local girl Scarlett Knox riding her lovely pony, Patrick.

The organisers would like to take this opportunity thank all the competitors who supported this league.

Also sincere thanks to Raymond Caldwell, course builder and assisted by Malvern Moore.

Thanks also to MGM Equestrian Shop who sponsored some of the many prizes awarded on the night.
