Results: Senior Junior
Dressage - Rory Boswell was riding in Arena F - he finished
2nd (1st placed Senior Rider in the arena).
The first 2 from each arena go forward
to a ride off to decide individual placings. Rory was not expecting getting
the place in the ride-off and after a rush to get ready in time he did
a good test to finish 10th.
The L&R team finished
15th,
with
Lois Young
4th in
Arena A.
Dressage Results
Wednesday
Show jumping: Hannah Hunter was competing for Eglinton - and finished
12th individual. There were very few clear rounds - Hannah unfortunately
had a stop in the first round, but recovered well to have a great second
round.
Lanark & Renfew's team finished 6th.
SJ Results
Thursday
Eventing: Rory Boswell on Rio also qualified for the eventing.
The going was very deep after significant amounts of rain over the previous few
days, but the decision was made to run.
Rory
led his arena after dressage,
with a great score of 26.3, and continued to
perform
well
as he jumped clear round Cross-Country- just picking up 2 time faults,
but unfortunately it didn't go well in the final part - 4 fences down show
jumping pushed
Rory
back
into
8th place.
L&R team didn't do too well - finishing 22nd out of 31 teams. But there
was a good performance by Samantha Whiteford to finish 7th in her arena.
Rory
has had a string of successes in BE events and made the Scottish JRN team
which went to Weston Park to compete over the intermediate 3-day
course. He led after dressage, completed roads and tracks and steeplechase
sections, but sadly his horse was lame, with a bruised sole, in the 10
minute box before the XC and was withdrawn.
