Well the day dawned bright, fine and very, very hot.  It makes a change from wellies and overcoats we have become used to at this event!.

The Juniors were all well presented and all on time in their arenas.  We fielded three teams, Deben Red, Deben Black and Deben Gold.

The Red team consisted of Posy 1st Arena/1st Qualifier, Grace 3rd Arena/3rd Qualifier, Isaac 5th Arena,5th Qualifier, Alice 1st Arena/1st Qualifier.  Overall the team came 1st 

The Gold team consisted of Chelsey 8th Arena/6th Qualifier, Charis 7th Arena/6th Qualifier Annabel 9th Arena/7th Qualifier and Tiffany 13th Arena/9th Qualifier. Overall the team came 11th 

The Black team consisted of Joanne 9th Arena/8th Qualifier, Carrie 5th Arena/5th Qualifier Joe 6th Arena/5th Qualifier and Rosie 4th Arena/4th Qualifier. Overall the team came 4th

As well as the teams we put forward two teams for pairs dressage - Grace and Isaac who were placed 1st, and Chelsey and Tiffany who were placed 3rd.

As individuals for Prelim 13 the following results were gained. Grace 1st, Carrie 2nd, Eleanor 3rd and Chelsey 4th.  Other individuals entered but unplaced were Joanne and Megan.  Naomi was also placed 5th in Prelim 10 and Chelsey was 4th.

As always we await final confirmation from Riding Clubs Head office of the names of those that qualified for Lincoln so keep an eye on the web site! 

All in all I would like to take this opportunity to praise all the Juniors for their hard work and effort which have obviously paid off through the training we have had from Sarah and Mike Hallows, which has been invaluable.

Thanks also to parents who were helpful and supportive to myself and Lynn, both before and on the day, it makes a difficult job that little bit easier.  Also a special thanks to Nancy Holmes for washing all the saddlecloths.

As we had so many Juniors, it was impossible to find Deben saddlecloths for all competitors, therefore I would like to ask if anyone has forgotten to return one could they please pass them on to a Committee Member.

Once again I hope all the Juniors had en enjoyable day.
