Well what a day!!
All Wheelton riders have done us proud in the un-bearable heat today at Somerford Park!
First was our grass roots riders where we had a team of Ben, Olivia, Chloe and Mia and two individuals Tori and Beck. All riders rode lovely accurate tests and Ben Chloe and Mia followed it up with double clears! Mia and Olivia gained 6th place in their arenas and Ben and chloe got 5th qualifying them all for Eland Lodge regionals at the end of August! Fantastic results especially considering it was Ben, Olivia and Tori’s first time eventing.
Next was the turn of the Novice, we had a team of four consisting of Alice M, Alice S, Trinity and Rhiannon. All four rider set the standard in the dressage, with Alice M and trinity lying second in their arenas after the dressage. Then Rhiannon Trinity and Alice S all got 3 text book double clears just picking up a few time faults. Overall, Alice S came 1st, Trinity came 2nd, Rhiannon came 3rd and Alice M came 6th in their individual arenas scoring them a team win in area 4 qualifying them for nationals at cholomondely castle! Exciting times ahead
