Thirteen year-old Anja Moret from Chelmsford, Essex scooped the victory in the penultimate Dodson & Horrell 1.05m National Amateur second round hosted at Brook Farm Training Centre in Romford, Essex recently.
Thirty-one hopefuls came forward with the aim of picking up a qualification ticket for the Dodson & Horrell National Amateur Championships which will run next month at Aintree Equestrian Centre in Liverpool (18th – 22nd November).
Following the first round of this class, eight combinations then went on to jump off against each other. With six double clears being produced, competitors kept their eyes on the clock to see who would pick up the top placings.
The win in this second round was taken by Anja after she produced the quickest double clear of this second round with Teza Englefield’s 8 year-old bay mare Gypsy Chip. The pairing clocked their double clear in 34.21 seconds.
Tagatha Payne, from Welwyn, Hertfordshire finished in second on her own 10 year-old dark bay mare The Maharanee. Two foot perfect rounds from this combination saw them return home with their double clear in 34.55 seconds.
Third place went to Luke Humphrey, from Wisbech, Cambridgeshire and he competed with his own 11 year-old bay mare Quinta De La Cense. This combination produced their second foot perfect round in 36.25 seconds.
