short report and results from our 1st September Dressage event.

Thank you everyone for coming along to our final Summer Series Dressage event kindly sponsored by High Peak Horse Hair Jewellery.

Across our events June to September we have been running a points championship of which the overall winner wins a Horse hair worth £100 from High Peak Horse hair jewellery and a fabulous sash and rosette.  Today it was a close run thing between Sophie Marples riding Samson (photo above right) and Joanne Crowther riding Whisper.  After todays event Sophie had slightly higher percentages to end up Dressage Champions Summer 2018 with a total of 574 points (Joanne Crowther finishing second on 570 points followed by Alison Rowell on 546 points).   Well done Sophie for being consistent scoring test percentages of between 67%  and 78%  all marked by different judges at every event.

Todays winners were Intro test A Poppy Whitehead riding small pony Red Autumn.  Intro B and Progress test went to another young pony rider Havana Brook riding Hengwys Starbuck.   Prelim 7 was a win for Alison Rowell riding her Cob Danny, P18 was won by Francesca Sharpe riding her thoroughbred Out of the Blocks.  Pick a test went to a first time dressage competitor at legup Karla Hudson riding Cooper and Novice 30 went to another first timer at a LegUp Dressage events Daisy May Guest riding Pin Wizard.  Well done all.

As ever thank you to my judge Tracey Hepworth and writers today Rebecca Garwood and Nicki Fryer for doing a sterling job all day long.  Final thanks to our competitors for supporting our events.
