A fantastic round for India and Edward Sancton Wood School Sancton Wood Equestrian Team. An unfortunate 4 penalty points at the jump which was catching a lot of riders out. Well done ! Now to head back three hours and avoid Bank hols traffic.

On Sunday The Sancton Wood Equestrian Team competed at Brook Farm Equestrian Centre in the NSEA regional show jumping qualifiers. We started the morning two riders down with a broken her arm from practicing for the competition the day before and poorly pony, Morris who was unwell.
The team put their best hoof forward and enjoyed a day full of success and rosettes. We had 2 riders competing in the 70cm Grass Roots regional qualifier and both the girls had fantastic clear rounds in super fast time and qualified for the champs in December. Another competed in the 90-95cm and did incredibly well, coming third overall, after another clear round and fast time. It was a great days work for the riders and horses and we are looking forward to the NSEA Grassroots championships on December the 20th where Evie, Lottie and Arabella will be representing the school.
In the meantime we wish Bea and Morris very speedy recoveries.
