As this was the last round in the winter series, it was also trophy day for the accumulator. Points were awarded at each competition in relation to placings at each competition.

Rachel Newton from Langtoft has perhaps been the most consistent senior rider of the series, riding her retrained racehorses: 8-year-old Pinot who raced until he was three, and 19-year-old Premier Ambitions who raced until the age of five.

Rachel’s consistency throughout the dressage bagged her the three senior trophies for which she was eligible to compete.

Grace Smith, 7, of Nawton won five of the six competitions riding her 10-year-old pony George.
