Congratulations and thank you to all of you who competed at Carlton
Horse Trials 2011. Full entries, beautiful weather, a wonderful team
of volunteers and great support from our sponsors made for a
thoroughly enjoyable weekend of competition.
Friday saw the second year of the Burghley Dubarry Young Event Horse Qualifier
classes for 4 & 5 year olds. Judges Richard Meade, Peter Crafts, Rosemary Morris
and Nick Turner saw a large field of impressive youngsters putting the winners,
Hayley Crofts on Oh Bill and Piggy French on Zeno Das Gluck through to the final at Burghley.
The Scotts Rider Development Program produced several successes. Alex Elliott,
finished in 10th place in the Scotts BE90 section H, a great achievement for
her first British Eventing horse trial and Henry Beasley, one of our 2010
selected riders came 1st in the Yara BE100 section J.
The winner of the Scotts Trophy for the highest placed horse/rider combination who
competed in BE100 sections at both Carlton and Brigstock Horse Trials is Rebecca
Hilton riding Hillviewfarm Muddled Up.
The trophy was presented at Burghley Horse Trials in September by James Scott.
Nick Turner and Victoria Thirlby, BE Accredited Coaches assisted two full
sections of BE80(T) competitors which were won by Janet Bradshaw riding Boyne
Valley Royal and Sophie Hyde on City Slicker 1V.
The trade stands provided much entertainment. The free face painting, the
guinea pig display and Have-a-go-at-archery went down a treat with the
littlies, whilst the rest of us were able to enjoy the Waitrose strawberries
and cream, giving the event a truly summery feel. Thank you to everyone
who made it all happen.
