Equestrian

Ava in Year 6, Megan and Olivia in Year 8, and Lydia in Year 10 recently competed in the NSEA Arena Eventing Qualifier at Kelsall.

Megan and Olivia both qualified for the NSEA Eventers' Challenge Championship taking place in May. Megan took second place in the 70-75cm and third place in the 80-85cm, and Olivia the reverse, coming third in the 70-75cm and second in the 80-85cm.

Ava rode well and was incredibly brave to take on her first ever Arena Eventing challenge, and took on both height classes in a competitive field.

Lydia also performed well as she competed in the 80-85cm field, and completed a fab clear round. The combined scores of our girls secured a team second place, and resulted in the team qualifying for the championships in May.
