NAF FIVE STAR BRC HORSE TRIALS CHAMPIONSHIPS - 4th/6th August 2023
What a weekend!
Friday morning trot up – unfortunately Annie Krumins horse Rio was not sound and was not allowed to continue. We were all gutted for them but in true team spirit took Rio home and came back to support the rest of her team mates all weekend.
Friday was dressage day for all.
90 team of Helen Garner (34.3), Karen Holmes (24.5), Celia Dyson (34.0) and Wendy Parker (37.5) all performed well and were lying 10th.
100 team of Tish Jerabek (28.) Caroline Harrison (33.0) and Claire Lewis (34.0) were lying 6th.
Saturday – what can I say it was wet! Phase A – Road and Tracks, Phase B – Steeplechase, Phase C – Roads & Tracks, 10 min box then Phase D – XC.
90cm - First up Helen coming home clear with 5.6 time pen, Karen had an unfortunate stop at the 2ndwater, Celia clear with 4.4 time pens and Wendy clear with 4 time pens. Team lying 8th.
100 team – the weather still did not get any better and the wind started to get up too.
Tish had a great round with just 2 time pens and Claire clear inside the time (with 3 shoes!), Caroline had the worst of the weather with the wind blowing the rain in your face and the Steeplechase was then causing problems with the going getting worse, had a few time pens but clear cross country with a few time faults. Team lying 6th, with Claire, Tish and Caroline lying 3rd in their sections.
Both teams rode fantastic in unbelievable conditions and all came home safe.
Alice Kidd was competing in the 80cm as an individual, Dressage of 37 pens and clear SJ
Sunday
As the weather was so bad on Saturday unfortunately for Alice all the Roads and Tracks and Steeplechase were taken out. Alice and Bill flew clear around the cross country just with a few time pens and finished 12th.
Trot up again for the 90cm and 100cm
All 90 team horses passed the vet after heart in your mouth moment when Helen’s Bella was held by the vet but a walk round was passed fit and Karen’s Luke deciding everything was so exciting that he caught Karen and cut her lip!
100 team – after Claire’s horse returned with 3 shoes we thought wouldn’t be sound after having shoe put back on but was past fit. Caroline looked lame but Sam looked raring. Unfortunately, Tish’s Roy was pulled up unsound by the vet after a nick on his knee was a bit swollen. But we still had Claire and Caroline in line individually.
90 team all jumped fab clear showjumping rounds with the team coming 7th. Celia 10th, Helen 13th, Wendy 13th and Karen 17th individually.
100cm – Claire Lewis clear and coming 2nd and Caroline 4 faults and coming 4th individually.
Thank you to Mark Garner (Pole Picking) & Sharon Roscoe (Dressage writing).
Great team spirit and a fantastic fun weekend had by all.

BRC Arena Eventing Championships - Saturday, 12th March at Aston Le Walls...
Our fantasic 100 Team of Helen Garner, Annie Krumins, Sonia Wiles and Claire Lewis did an amazing job at the Arena Eventing Champs at Aston to finish an incredible 6th out of 22 teams!
Helen Garner and Bella were the team trailblazers and had a fab round with two fences down including the Joker. Claire Lewis and Dorkus did another excellent round which was very close to the optimum time, with just two fences down including the Joker .
Then it was Annie Krumins and Rio, who did an amazing clear round and just tapped the joker down. Sonia Wiles and Murphy were last to go and had another fabulous round with only one fence down and kept the Joker up!
We are incredibly proud of this team! Well done to four amazing riders and four amazing horses!

Our second team of Helen, Hannah, Nicky and Annie were 2nd finishing on a team score of ZERO!! They were piped by 0.26 seconds however. Amber was the overall winner. Nicky was 2nd and Helen was 6th so a massive rosette haul here.
The 110 team were all incredible. Sonia, Lily, Hannah and Amber all jumped double clear and won and therefore booked their place at the championships in April. Amber was 2nd overall Sonia 4 th and Hannah 5th!
So a quick tally of the team results... 70cm unplaced / 80cm - 2nd / 90 - 2nd / 1m - 2nd & 3rd / 110m WINNER WINNER!
AS ALWAYS A HUGE THANK YOU TO OUR TEAM MANAGERS, VOLUNTEERS AND RIDERS FOR BEING SUCH SUPERSTARS FOR THE CLUB!

Flu Vaccination Update From BRC - 10 September 2021
As part of the BHS, welfare of the horse is obviously paramount, however in the current climate the risk of a flu outbreak is at this time minimal.
BRC are therefore comfortable to remove the requirement of a vaccination within 6 months and 21 days of a qualifier or championship. This will be with immediate effect, however we will continue to strongly recommend a 6 month vaccination when attending BRC qualifiers and championships along with maintaining good biosecurity protocols.
In order to compete in a BRC qualifier and/or championships the annual vaccinations (12 month) and initial course must be correct as per G7 of the Handbook. BRC reserve the right to amend these vaccination rules should another outbreak occur.
BRC NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS AT LINCOLNSHIRE SHOWGROUND
A fantastic day for the Dressage Teams with a super 2nd in a very large Pairs Class for Dawn Muston and Jules Johnson. Then our Team of Four comprising Jules Johnson, Dawn Muston, Jane Wood and Jacqui Ludlam achieved a very well deserved 4th in another large class. Well done everyone and well done Jules for a very quick change of plaiting style for Haf!
Success For the Junior Dressage Team...
Well done to our 14 years and under Junior Team of Amber Hollingworth, Alice Coxsey, Oscar Pickering and Annie Krumins who did so incredibly well. With a score of 71% Amber gained 4th in her arena, Alice's score of 64% put her in 9th place, 67% for Oscar and 12th place, Annie's 63% gave her 12th. It was a very tight competition with the 4th score coming into play for placings. Jo Holmes Cole did a great job warming up the team and supporting them throughout the day.
Showjumping...
WOW what a day. We were really well represented today at the championships. We had Natasha Shelton and Karen Lloyd in the style jumping. Both jumped clear rounds but were just out of the placings. The 1m class was huge and Annie Krumins got the team off to a fab start with a fantastic fast double clear, followed by Hannah Spray who jumped a really good first round for clear but had an unlucky pole in round 2. Lily Walker did very well in her first round but even better in her second round to just have an unlucky pole on her lovely new horse. Helen Garner was last up who had an unlucky pole in both rounds but jumped amazing as it was her third ever round at this height. The team finished on a total of 4 faults and finished an incredible 2nd place as a team with Annie coming 6th individually and also the top placed junior rider with Lily and Hannah coming 4th and 8th in the juniors.
The day wasn’t over for Hannah and Rooney who competed in the 1.10m to have a very unlucky pole as the very last fence. They were part of the area 16 team who also finished 2nd and Hannah was 5th individually
Report on The BRC NAF Horse Trials Championships at Swalcliffe!
The day of the Championships arrived and our team of Jemma Longsdale with Bertie; Natasha Shelton with Billy; Sarah Manning with Bob; and Jessica Gray with Shady had to be up bright and early as we were competing in the first section of the day starting at 8am. Although it was supposed to rain for most of the day, perhaps reminiscent of the Area 16 HT competition where we all got completely soaked, the day remained fine albeit rather windy!
All 4 members of the team produced solid dressage tests with scores in the thirties. Show jumping next, which slightly caught Jemma, Sarah and Tasha out as they all had 4 faults, and Jess and Shady had a great clear round. This set the team up very well for the final phase ... the XC!
The course was very undulating, and was not straightforward, which was to be expected as this was the National Championships after all! Jess and Sarah both had amazing clear rounds, although Sarah clocked up a few time penalties as Bob isn’t a speed merchant! Jemma’s Bertie took a dislike to the open ditch, flatly refusing to jump it at any cost and Tasha’s Billy also needed a second look at the odd fence before bravely jumping them, leading to a few unwanted penalties. Perhaps the early start for Bertie and Billy caught up with them!!!
Anyway, a fabulous day was had by one and all, and the icing on the cake was that Jess and Shady won individual 5th place in their section, so congratulations to them! And thank you to the whole team for representing RLRC so well and making it a day to remember! Celia Dyson, Team Manager.
Claire Reports On Her Success in the 100cm
Master Wickham (Darsi to his friends) was one of only three horses to finish on his dressage score for fourth place in his section. The showjumping proved tricky and really shook the leader board up! The xc contained a decent “cardiac hill” and the time only achievable when taking the direct routes which really played into our hands being an ex racehorse who loves to gallop and jump! It was a lovely/very soggy experience and we enjoyed every minute! Thank you Rearsby for giving us the opportunity to represent the club and Nicki for being a great team manager! We look forward to the next one! Claire.
Dressage Success For Katy Reddington...
Katy and Contessa Herself (Connie) went to Moorehouse Farm in Doncaster to give the Dressage to Music ago on 1st August and WON! They are now off to the Championships at Bury Farm representing the Club! Well done Katy and the beautiful Connie!
