ESSEX-based Saffron Walden Riding Club was in winning form at the Equitheme BRC Intermediate Winter Championships at Bury Farm in Buckinghamshire.
The four-strong team of Sam Wisbey on Bristol de Breve, Lisa Spence riding Temple Rexton, Sarah Hamlett on Grafique Banta and Elspeth Martin with Red Arturous scooped the 100 Team Show Jumping section and also secured the individual championship.
Said Lisa: “It is fantastic to win, my ride the 15-year-old Temple Rexton belongs to Tim Ria and he is usually more at home out on the hunting field so this was brilliant.”
Added Sam: “I have been riding Bristol de Breve for a few months now and he is improving all the time having competed in a few British Show Jumping classes now.”
With a clear round in 36.36 seconds, Sarah won the individual championship, a great result on the 16-year-old, Grafique Banta.
“I had her for nine months and we are really starting to get to know each other now, our jump-off went to plan and I couldn’t be more pleased,” said Sarah.
Second place went to Darlington Riding Club with third in the team competition going to Carmarthenshire-based, Towy Valley.
