Finn Valley RC hosted this event at Topthorn on Saturday 14th February, entries started rather slowly but then rapidly picked up as riders were wanting a warm up before the team competition.   A new competition introduced in 2015 is the Winter Intermediate team jumping qualifier for Bury Farm Winter Championships in May. We had two Junior teams entered;   Finn Valley and Beccles & Bungay with Finn Valley just missing out on qualifying coming second to Beccles & Bungay. There was good competition for the Senior title with six qualifying teams and three non-qualifying teams. Carleton took the honours, closely followed by Finn Valley in 2nd, Halseworth in 3rd and High Fen in 4th.  Good luck to all winning teams at the championships. 

 

We would like to thank all our sponsors Class Act Embroidery, Ride-Away in Ipswich, Tack and Turnout, Charlotte Bullard Equine Sports Therapist, Bed-Down Horse Bedding and Saracens Horse Feeds, we are very grateful to all of them for their support.

 

Thank you also to all our helpers and the judges Gill Lloyds and Carole Edwards who did a great job and Mark Warr who was the photographer.
