Equestrian team qualifies for national championships - 3/3/10
Published: 03 March, 2010
The Plymouth College Equestrian team is continuing its
successful campaign on the national stage by qualifying for the
NSEA Jumping with Style Championships. Morwenna Moore, Emily
Dinnis and Sammy Cotton qualified by coming second in the regional
round held at Millfield School.
Out of the seven teams that entered the competition,
Plymouth College was the only one to post three clear
rounds, with just five time penalties between its
riders. As well, the Plymouth team only had three members -
teams with four riders could discard their worst score.
After style marks were added, Plymouth College accumulated 41
points, finishing second to Millfield and securing
qualification to the National Championships, which are being held
at Addington, Buckinghamshire in December.
In other equestrian news, Plymouth College's inaugural Schools'
Team Combined Training Competition is taking place on
27th March. Run in conjunction with Foxworthy
Beacon Riding Club, the event is being held at Newnham Park,
Plympton.
Combined Training consists of two phases - the first
round is dressage followed by showjumping for the second
round. This competition is the first of its kind for schools
in the South West. Further information is available from
