Show Jumping Team win

On Sunday 21 February Bookham sent two teams of four riders to take part in the National Novice Indoor Showjumping Qualifier organised by Abinger Forest Riding Club at Sands Farm Equitation Centre near Horsham.  Each team member had to jump 3 rounds each and all four members of the Bookham Red team jumped clear rounds - a grand total of 12 clear rounds - the only team that day to do so.  Then they jumped the fastest 4 clears out of the 3 teams that jumped off for the first 3 placings.  They have now qualified for the regional championships on 3rd April at Hartpury College.

The Bookham Green team which consisted of Lara Haynes on Dessie, Sarah Jones on Milo, Rachel Dorrell on High Barn Lady Luck and Megan Williams on Medoc O also jumped really well and came 5th overall which was an excellent result.
