Sunday the 17th March saw the culmination of our 2012/13 Winter dressage league and what a competition it has been! Since September, two riders, Morgan McCartney and Jennifer Wisdom have barely had two points between them and we entered the final day with Morgan one point ahead. They were both miles ahead of everyone else so all eyes were on their scores. The Prelim couldn’t have been any closer with Morgan scoring 69.57% and Jennifer 69.13% but the final results could not be decided until the results of the Novice class were known. Morgan achieved another super score in the Novice class picking up 2nd place with 70.77% and Jennifer was 4th on 66.15%, this confirmed the winner of the league as Morgan with Jennifer a very close second. The achievement is all the more impressive given Morgan is 13 and Jennifer 16, the younger riders have lead the way all through the winter season.
The winners of the classes throughout the winter were also announced and presented with their league rosettes by the day’s judge, Lady Mary Hope. Results;
