🌟 Huge well done to all our riders at yesterday’s Spring Festival Show Jumping Qualifier! 🐴🏆

Some fabulous results and qualifications, with plenty to celebrate!

🏆 Evie O took the win in the 80cm, with her brother Edward finishing 6th!

🏆 Lorna H won the 110cm, an exceptional achievement given the complexity of the course and the sheer size of some of those oxers! Cecilia VM also put in a fantastic performance to finish 5th in the 110cm! 👏

For some, it was their first Spring Festival qualifier, others were stepping up to new heights, and we had some new combinations gaining valuable experience together.

Jumping in a big atmosphere arena like Hartpury is an experience in itself, and every rider should be proud of getting out there and giving it their best.

As always with horses, there were highs and lows, but every round brings something to learn from and build on. That’s all part of the journey!

A huge well done to every single rider, whatever the result. Lots to be proud of! ❤️🐴

And a huge thank you to Carol and Sarah for all your support, encouragement and help throughout the day. It really is appreciated!

What a fantastic day for the Old Berks at the Blenheim International Horse Trials yesterday! 🏆 Three OBH teams competed in the evoke Eventer Challenge — two in the 90cm and one in the 100cm.

In the 90cm, out of 39 teams, our OBH Navy team of Sophie, Isabelle, Grace and Lily came a brilliant 9th, and OBH White (Nelly, Isla and Flora) finished 15th — with some fantastic riding and fabulous clear rounds over a twisty, technical course. Individually, Isla finished 14th, Sophie 20th and Grace 24th, in a section of 154 riders!

Our 100cm team of Amalfi, Scarlett and Nina finished a superb 10th, with Nina 18th, Scarlett 19th and Amalfi 57th individually.

OBH supporters were out in full force today — huge thanks to Fi for her encouragement and fabulous coaching throughout. Congratulations to everyone who rode today at such a fabulous event. So proud of this team! 🐎
