Equestrian stars

The Pipers Corner Equestrian Team put on a fantastic display when they took part in the National Schools Equestrian Association Championships at Addlington Manor Equestrian Centre on Saturday 24 October. The team consisting of Ciara S on Dinky, Jemima C on Scooby, Phoebe H on Chip and Olivia S on Sox qualified for the event after competing at the National County Challenge Show Jumping Championships in April.

The girls rode with great focus and determination in the Mini 75 – 80cm class and finished with no penalties in a very quick time combined time of 59.77 seconds.  Their combined times beat 31 other highly competitive teams from all over the UK and put Pipers Corner through to the Grand Final, which was held in the International Indoor Arena later in the day.

The Pipers Corner team performed exceptionally well in the final and finished in a very creditable 8th place out of the 39 teams.

Mrs McGonigle, PE Teacher said “I am very proud of the girls, they rode exceptionally well and coming 8th out of 39 is an incredible achievement.”
