Record numbers attend Baileys Flexi Eventing

There were almost 120 dressage tests ridden and over 250 doing showjumping and cross country.

Once again huge Intro numbers meant a class division with Justine Harding most impressing the hard working judge Vanda Stewart with Bonmahon Quickstep in the ‘A’ section. The combination finished one point clear of a duo already showing great consistency, Ellen Douglas and Rock Melody.

Topping the ‘B’ section and catching the eye of many of the spectators was Emma Lappin and Bat Out of Hell, followed by Lucca Stubington and September Son who moved up from eighth place last week.

Thirty three combinations presented themselves in front of Lucinda Webb-Graham in the Pre Novice class where Daniel Brown led the field with his lovely six year old bay mare, by Hold Up Premier, Fleur de Lis. They were exactly one point clear of an exciting new combination, Hannah Blakely and Clerkson.

It was a case of déjà vu in the Novice class where Denis Currie repeated last week’s performance with Arodstown Aramis to claim the red rosette by a margin of two points over the accomplished duo of Leah Jackson and Gemilly.

Helen Faulkner, making her first appearance in the league this year with Ann Cunningham’s Derryvane Danny, took top spot in David Lee’s Intermediate class, followed by Claire Sedgeman and Archie.

Meanwhile, Arena 2 staff were kept extremely busy with the showjumping classes which started promptly at 9am and continued until late evening. The standard of competition was very high with a good percentage of double clears being recorded across the classes from 70cms through to 1.20m.

Arena 3 hosted the all weather cross country courses which are proving very popular with eventers, would-be eventers and those who have never thought about that discipline before. With a great selection of fences to suit all abilities at 80cms, 90cms and 1m, it is undoubtedly a very valuable training asset at this time of the year.

Huge thanks go to all the judges, scribes, call up stewards, arena personnel, secretarial staff and scorers for all their help in ensuring that all three arenas ran like clockwork. Special thanks was expressed by all judges to Tristan Wallace for being so dedicated in his slip collection duties and every other duty asked of him.

Finally, thanks go to Judy Maxwell of @Baileyshorsefeeds for her continuing support and sponsorship of this very popular League which is open to absolutely everyone.

As the name suggests, riders can choose to do any or all of the three disciplines.

Showjumping and cross country entries are taken on the day but dressage must be pre entered with Dora on 07876 758 979 or [email protected] by 6pm each Wednesday.
