The National Schools Equestrian championships is the highlight of the year in the NSEA competition calendar, which this year was held at Keysoe Equestrian in Bedfordshire. The NGHS team have worked hard all year to gain qualifications for this prestigious event and represented the school in several classes over the long weekend.
Thursday started with the NSEA Championships classes and Oona G went solo for the 70/75 competition. In a massive class of 138 Oona gave it her all and completed a beautiful round. On Friday it was the turn of Izzy W in the 80/85 riding a lovey fast clear round in another massive class of 197. Sadly, both girls were not in the prizes, but they give it their all and should be very proud of their achievements.
On Sunday the team of Eva T, Hannah J, Izzy W & Jazz R headed back down to Keysoe ready for the NSEA Championship Plate competition on Monday morning. Some members of the team entered the warm-up competition on Sunday night and after their fabulous efforts everyone was excited for the competition the next morning. A very early start on Monday saw the girls enter the 70/75 competition. All the girls rode so well in the first round, qualifying them for the jump off. Nerves ran high but the girls stayed cool, calm and collected achieving an amazing team THIRD.
Last but certainly not least Sophie C took to the arena representing NGHS as an individual in the 90/95. Sophie rode brilliantly achieving an absolutely amazing 7th place. We are so proud of all the girls and their achievements, they worked so hard and supported each other. Now the girls are already back out and about trying to get qualified for next year!
