The fourth KBIS Insurance Senior British Novice Regional Final took place recently at Brook Farm Training Centre in Romford, Essex and the class attracted a total of 75 eligible starters.
From the total number of starters, 13 went on to achieve the treble clear required to qualify for the Championship Final, which will be held at the Alexanders Horseboxes British Showjumping Scope Festival on 25th to 31st August. Following three closely fought and competitive rounds of showjumping, the eventual winner of this regional final was 27 year-old Michael Fursedonn from Brentwood, Essex on board his own 5-year-old bay gelding, Darcode. The combination produced an immaculate treble clear in a time of 38.26 seconds to snatch victory. Second place was taken by 35-year-old Rosanna Marston from Cranbrook, Kent and she achieved her treble clear on Just Call Me B, a 7-year-old bright bay gelding owned by Jane Marston. Their time of 38.80 seconds was enough to ensure a top two finish. The combination in third was 29 year-old Ricki Hill from Benfleet, Essex and he rode Jacqueline Hill’s 6-year-old chestnut gelding, Essex Boy. This combination also produced a treble clear in sub 40.00 seconds to finish on a time of 39.55 seconds.
