Those who opted to enter and travel<br />
to Great Witchingham were winners<br />
before they even started as the event<br />
was to go ahead unlike many other<br />
unfortunate events that have had to cancel<br />
before or abandon during.<br />
The event ran from BE80T to advanced<br />
intermediate as well as two CIC one star<br />
sections.<br />
Piggy French had seven horses competing across<br />
the levels, she picked up wins in the BE100 open<br />
and one of the 1* sections. As well as second<br />
and sixth place in the open intermediates with<br />
Quarrycrest Echo and Cooley Monsoon.<br />
The BE100 plus was won by Keysoe based Sarah<br />
Bullimore and Starbucks I on a score that had<br />
her out of reach of any other competitors in the<br />
section. After scoring 20.3 in the dressage she<br />
was able to add 5.2 penalties across the country<br />
to finish on 25.5 which was still almost eight<br />
penalties ahead of second place. Sarah was also<br />
sixth in the intermediate novice aboard Quimira.<br />
Simon Grieve who had six horses to compete<br />
from BE100 to intermediate had the perfect pre<br />
badminton prep with Drumbila Metro by topping<br />
the open intermediate section C. With all of his<br />
horses having great runs, to include a second<br />
place in the open novice and third in the BE100.<br />
There was only one pole rolled in the show<br />
jumping between all his horses.<br />
Young rider Felicity Collins is certainly seeing<br />
herself consistently appearing in the top<br />
placings. This time around she was second in<br />
the intermediate novice on the 11 year old Just<br />
Amazing III. The younger horses Shadow Chanel<br />
and Billy Memphis had good runs in the novice<br />
classes, finishing fifth and eighth respectively.<br />
As well as a nice steady double clear on her top<br />
horse RSH Contend Or in open intermediate<br />
section C.<br />
