Area 19 SJ & Dressage Qualifier
at Barony College
on 5th August 2003

We had 9 teams competing at the qualifier at the various levels. Many thanks to Tina & Julia who had a long day watching over the teams.

Area Dressage

Team: Rachel Rodman, Nicola Jamieson, Rebecca Pottinger and Fiona Alexander.

Our team finished in third place. The first 2 teams finished very close - with Linlithgow & Stirling taking the qualifying place.

But a great test by Rebecca Pottinger gave her 1st place in her arena - qualifying her individually for Sansaw!

Team Results:
1st Linlithgow & Stirling
2nd Lanark & Renfrewshire A
3rd Eglinton
4th Duke of Buccleugh
5th Lanark & Renfrewshire B
6th Nithsdale

Area Show Jumping

We only had 1 individual competing who was Fiona Alexander. Fiona had a couple of fences down in each of the 2 rounds so unfortunately was not placed.

 

Novice Challenge Dressage

A Team: Holly Rivett, Hannah Hunter and Elaine Reilly.
B Team: Jayne Geddes, Sophie Harvey & Ainslie Thompson.

The B team finished 3rd with Jayne placed 3rd in her arena, and the A team finished 5th with Holly placed 6th in her arena.

Novice Challenge Show Jumping

Two SJ teams were competing:

A Team: Rachel Rodman, Jayne Geddes, Hannah Hunter and Heather Ridland.
B Team: Holly Rivett, Elaine Reilly, Laura Wild and Ainslie Thompson.

The B Team were unplaced, but the As completed the 2 rounds on a score of 0. This put them equal with 3 other teams going forward to a jump-off for 1st place.
Hannah was the nominated rider for the jump-off and was first to go. She jumped a great round: clear in 33.2
Nithsdale were the second team to go and their rider just pipped our time - clear in 33.0!
Dumfriesshire were last to go but had a fence down meaning the A Team finished in 2nd place - taking the second qualifying place for the Novice Challenge Championships in Cheshire!

 

Junior Dressage

We had 2 junior teams at Barony:

A Team: Clare Geddes, Samantha Fergusson, Heather Ridland and Lisa Brewster.
B Team: Lucy Fergusson, Rachel Offer and Katie Offer.

Well done to the Bs who finished in 2nd place despite a team of 3.
