Plymouth College pupil, Emily Dinnis, 15, has won the inaugural National Schools BE90 eventing qualifier at Bicton Arena, Exeter. This is a new class run by British Eventing, aimed at school children.
Emily, who has never competed in a British Eventing-affiliated competition before, lay in second place after an impressive dressage phase posting a superb score of 22.5. Riding 'Winosa', she followed this with a double clear round show jumping and cross country without any time faults. Her competitors couldn't match and she emerged the winner by two points.
Emily has now qualified for the BE finals, which will be held at Stonar School next May.
