St Mary's Calne
We are delighted to share some fantastic results from our riders over the past few weeks.
On Saturday, a team of students represented the school at Rectory Farm for a showjumping competition. Ami F, Dulcie W, and Darcy J all produced excellent rounds in the 80–85cm class, securing a brilliant 3rd place as a team - narrowly missing out on qualification for nationals. A special mention goes to Darcy, who went on to compete in the 90–95cm class with her new horse. Despite just brushing a pole, it was wonderful to see such an exciting new partnership in action, showing great promise for the future.
In the Grassroots competition, Amelia S competed with her young pony, delivering a beautiful clear round in the 60cm class and another impressive round in the 70cm. Although just missing out on a placing, Amelia’s achievements are a testament to her hard work and dedication over recent months.
Tilly S has also had an exceptionally busy and successful Easter break. She competed at two events, starting with Oxstalls in the ONu18 section where she finished 4th, achieving a dressage score of 31.3 and a double clear. Niamh R close behind picking up 8th in the same section. The girls showed great teamwork, watching each other’s rounds and lots of cheering on the sidelines.
Tilly S then headed to Calmsden, where she competed in the Open Novice, producing another excellent performance with a 34 dressage and a second double clear. Tilly’s horse, Edie, has been on superb form, and she is thrilled with their continued progress.
Congratulations to all our riders - we are incredibly proud of their achievements and look forward to seeing what the rest of the season holds!
