Equestrian Team Into National Showjumping Championships

The Churcher's College Equestrian Team is basking in some significant recent success. The team has grown, and now with some 20 members ranging from the First Year to the Upper Sixth, the girls proudly wear Churcher's branded numnahs, rugs and matching hat silks.

On Sunday 3 October, three teams travelled to Cranleigh for the Jumping with Style Showjumping Qualifiers for the NSEA  With an eye on the coming National Championships, to be held at Keysoe at the end of October, the team knew a top two finish would be essential. 

On the day, they performed incredibly well in very competitive classes. In the 70cm Aneka Wisniewska was placed individually and qualified while in the 80cm class of more than 50 competitors, the team consisting of Aneka, Amelia Dallyn, Clemmie Foster and Ella Hart came second and qualified for the National Championships. In the 90cm class the team consisting of Emily Martin, Georgia Dyer, Clemmie and Ella came fourth, qualifying for a Plate Championship in November. Ella, Clemmie, Megan and Emily were very pleased to win the mitre class and have therefore qualified for the National Championships! 

Congratulations to all girls and a special mention to Clemmie, who won the class as an individual.

Five of the team will now travel up to the National Championships at the end of October with their horses to compete against qualifying schools from across the country. We wish them continued success!
