AFTER the excitement of the Derby and the thrills of the Royal International Horse Show, it was the youngsters' turn to take over Hickstead last week for the annual Schools and Pony Club Championships.
Hurspierpoint College's Prep team leapt into joint second place overall in the junior schools competition after a tense jump-off. There were brilliant rounds from the team of Ellie Brown, Benjy Mason and Amy Inglis.
But the icing on the cake came when Amy, riding J's Junior, came second in the Individual jumping competition, making it a double celebration for Hurst, who were sponsoring the event and whose headmaster, Tim Manly, made the presentations.
Amy's mum Claire said: "We're really proud of the whole team. Riding for the first time in the Hickstead arena is so exciting for young riders, and to come away with rosettes is fantastic."
A great effort also came from Warden Park School in Cuckfield, with their team of Tillie Brown, Jasmin Crossfield and Flo Harris. They jumped three great rounds in the senior school qualifiers to finish 12th out of 64 teams.
