Four riders from Avon Riding Centre for the Disabled competed at the Mid West Regional championships in Show-jumping and Endurance on Monday 6th June.
George Brindley qualified for the nationals, coming 2nd in the Level 3 Show Jumping on Robbie.
Stella Jelly on Hope and Millie Boult both came 3rd in the level 2 and level 3 show-jumping respectively.
Cecilia Kennard enjoyed the Endurance event: a 2km solo ride on Hope, which is all about covering the maximum distance possible without putting the horse under too much strain.
It was a beautiful day, if somewhat hot. Thanks to the riders and of course the support team who made it possible for them to attend this fantastic event.
*edited to change George’s event to Level 3 showjumping instead of Level 2.
