Team Show Jumping Competition
Last weekend, 19 girls and their horses/ponies competed in Strathallan’s Team Show Jumping Competition. The girls all looked smart and turned out in their show attire and ponies all gleaming and plaited up.
They started the day very well with Mischa Steele, Flora Allan, Erin MacGregor and Ruby Forbes winning the first class of the day, beating another 9 teams in the process. This is a huge achievement for all of the girls and shows that we have such promising young riders coming up the years here at Kilgraston. Mischa also took individual 6th place out of the 45 riders entered.
In Class 2, Mischa, Flora, Issie Jeffrey and Frankie Home-Mussop jumped really well, just an unfortunate 1 pole down for Mischa and Flora had a fall at the last fence, but 2 fast clear fences from Issie and Frankie meant we still got team 6th place out of 12 teams. Flora very bravely remounted and jumped the last fence.
In Class 3, the 85cm we had 3 teams entered. We had a few unlucky poles down in what was a very competitive class of 16 teams but still managed 3rd place for Frankie, Hannah Cuthill, Millie Brown and Daisy Galbraith.
The last class of the day was the 1m, we had 2 teams entered. The KG white team of Hannah, Heather Halley, Anna Smallwood and Poppy Currie and the KG blue team of Connie Wang, Poppy (riding her 2ndhorse), Daisy and Millie. It was a really tough course with only 4 clear rounds out of 40 riders and Heather was one them, gaining individual 3rd place. Hannah and Anna had a couple of poles down between them which just pipped us into 2nd place over all.
The girls really did us proud in what was a very long day of some fantastic show jumping. This was the last team competition of the year but the girls are already looking forward to next year’s equestrian events.
