These worthy champions also took home ribbons, sashes and the excellent prizes provided by Nixon Equine of a numnah and an equinalysis. A very close second was the junior rider Tija Cowie on her mount Kenmare Tobia on 70%. Well done to both these riders.  This was a tightly fought contest with ties in 4th  and 9th places.  Jane Nixon & Stuart Hastie of Nixon Equine attended the prize giving.

The Novice and Elementary Championship class judged by Mrs Ackland saw a very excited Lisa Earl and Mirastella ride the test of their lives to take the class with a 69.62%. Lisa rode early in the class and sat on tenterhooks thereafter but maintained the lead to the end. Kirsty Farren & Tija Cowie winners in the prelim championships were both kept at bay to take 2nd & 3rd respectively. Prizees were presented by Jane Nixon &  Stuart Hastie to the delight of the winners.

Avril Ijesselmuiden kindly returned to judge the last class of the championships which was taken in style by an on form Alison Kenward riding Rachel Harris’s Roughway Jack.  This pair notched up 69.29% for E50 ensuring that they too took the title. A delighted Alison said that she had been thinking of treating Jack to an equianalysis and now he had won it himself.
