I will then do my best to arrange one or more dates around this if at all possible.

Please note that to be considered for the Junior Team you will need to be confidently and consistently jumping in competitions at 2' 6" and 2' 9", as well as being 12 & under on 1 January 2008.

POOLE & DISTRICT REPORT - 30th March 2008

Overnight rain and the clocks going forward didn't damped the Wilton Team, who were rewarded for their early morning effort.

In Ring 1

The team of Frances Elgar, Phemie Dillon, Anna Jesty and Hugh Pelly, came 2nd in the 2' class and 3rd in the 2'3" with both Phemie and Frances being placed individualy having double clears in both classes, Anna had a double clear in the 2'3".

In the 2'6" class Lucy Butler, Frances Elgar, Phoebe Gregory and Megan Brown. Finished 2nd, with the whole team going clear in the first round, with three double clears under their belts Megan went to give them a faster qualifing round, but sadly had a pole down. Frances was 3rd ind and Phoebe 6th ind.

In Ring 2

In the 2'9" we fielded 2 teams. Wilton Gold: Lucy Butler, Briony Adshead, Phoebe Gregory and Hannah Royle. Wilton Blue: Abbi Pownall-Gray, Megan Brown, Megan Lockyer and Alice Elgar. Alice and Briony managed two of the only 3 double clears on the very tricky going and came 1st and 3rd respectively. Wilton Gold finished on 16 faults in second place to Wilton Blue who finished on 8 faults to win.

In the 3' Class, Alice, Briony, Abbi and Megan L finished in 8 fault and won the class, and Briony did one of the 3 double clears in great style to win the class. Well done to the team who were all attempting 3' outdoors for the first time.
