Exciting Finishes are on the cards
Iping horse trials on the 24th - 25th July and Little Mattingley
on the 31st July - 1st August 2010 provided exciting competition
within the The Point Two S.E.E.L Championship. This league
provides a season long competition for all event horses within
the South- east area and with many new sponsors, the league
is set to provide an exciting pinnacle to the eventing season.
In the leading Horse and Rider league, sponsored by Intelligent
Worming, Ken Spencer and Caroline Collins’ Nabab Classic moved
into 2nd place by 1 point from Pippa Funnell and the top young
horse Billy Landretti. Ken won the main Intermediate-Novice
class at Iping on the 18.1hh chesnut gelding, who combines
his eventing career with hunting and unaffiliated competitions with his owner.
The section of the league remains very close with no clear leader, there
is still room for a new combination to take the lead, so get your entries
in quick!
There is a new leader in the Point Two Grassroots Pre-Novice.
Aileen Tizzard and Kavanagh II won BE100 Section H at Iping
and came 3rd in BE100 Section B at Little Mattingley, capitalising
on Sam Penn and Tickeridge’s absence from these 2 events. As Ian Bareham explained winning the league would be a bonus for Sam Penn and this exciting young horse as their primary purpose is to educate and produce a future top class event horse. Aileen’s
results added 18 points to her total after Brightling of 58 points, they
now lead the league on 76 points. Aileen also has a commanding lead in the
Grassroots Veteran League.
The leading 2 competitors in the Point Two Grassroots Intro
moved further away from other competitors, both moving onto
44 points in equal 1st place. Ian Carey and Sharkhams Real
McCoy gained a 2nd at Iping and Jan Drewett and Diamond Romance
picked up a 6th place at Iping and 3rd place at Little Mattingley.
The Leagues are all set to provide exciting finishes to
the season. The League events in August are – Smiths Lawn,
Chilham Castle, Firle Place and Highclere Castle, and with
exciting prizes for league winners, all competitors should
be getting their entries in!
