Our riders had fun at the Show Jumping qualifier at BCA today. Nichola Peace and Rory had just one down in the 60cm and 70cm classes to finish outside the placings. This was their first 70cm for the club and they did it in style!

Sharon Wood and and the ever-reliable Molly jumped double clear in the 70cm to place 6th out of 31 starters. In the 80, they had one down in the first round (thanks to Sharon’s knee!) which unfortunately put them outside the placings.

Save the date!
Combined Training Qualifier Sun 17th May, Snowball. Classes will be Prelim and Novice, heights 60-90cm

We had mixed fortunes at the Dressage to Music qualifier at BCA yesterday. Tracey Bourne and Bob placed a very close second in the Novice with Points section with 65%. Adele Ronchetti and Henry went in the Advance Medium. Unfortunately, Henry found the music in the indoor arena to be too loud and unsettling and wasn’t able to perform to his best.

Big thanks to our helpers – Sharon Wood and Nichola Peace, without whom we would not have been able to compete.

The marvellous Meadmoor Thunderbolt, aka Thor, did Northwood proud today at the Intermediate Dressage Qualifiers at Wellington.

Ridden by Kayleigh Jayne in Prelim 2, the pair took joint first place in a class of 19, with 68.48%. An hour later in Novice 1, ridden by mum Sara-Jane Larner, they took joint 2nd place in a class of 14 with 67.8%. Both riders qualify for the National Championships at Arena UK next April.

Fun NRC camp from 17th to 19th July 2026 at Bucklebury
