Great Walstead Riding Team crowned NSEA National Champions at Hickstead
First into the ring was Arabella Goodwin riding Babe: a superbly ridden round as pathfinder set the team up with its first clear round. Next in was Bridget Priest riding Sprite who had her foot flat to the floor the whole time securing a second clear round. Third in for the team was Izzy Lawrence riding the super quick Diva who produced another clear round. Three clear rounds meant that the pressure was off the team anchorman; however Ethan Collins rode a lovely round on Guinness the Cob.
Team coach for the day, Nicky Collins, said “I am so proud of the performance the whole team put in today. They definitely deserved to be crowned the NSEA National Champions.”
