The Equi-Fun Club
Charity Team & Individual Show Jumping Show
Report by Rebecca Wood
On Sunday 12th May The Equi-Fun Club ran an Unaffiliated Team and Individual Show Jumping Show to raise money for the Breast Cancer Now Charity after one of the club members was diagnosed with Breast Cancer. The show was sponsored by three local businesses and two of the club members, so a huge thank you to Loretta Bentley, Little Bentley Eventing, Gables Oast Stud and New & Second Hand Horse Tack Grooming & Rider Wear for supporting a very worthy cause.
There were five classes starting at 30cm going up to 80cm, riders were placed individually as normal and then score (faults) was put through to their team overall score. Teams were made up of four riders and at least two of them had to ride at different heights, the best three scores counted to the final total. With six teams, the competition was tight and they all gave it their best shots! By the time the final scores were in we had four teams on 0 faults, so each team nominated a rider whose jump off time was then used to pick the winner, the fastest time won!
The winning team were four junior riders, three of which were attending a show for the first time ever, they were called ‘Jenners Juniors’ and consisted of Kara, Poppy, Edith & Elsie and they beat our second placed team ‘Confused Old Birds On Horseback’, Nikki, Amie, Lisa and Sharon!
Everyone had a great day and we raised a wonderful £350 for Breast Cancer Now!
