The Island’s very own Hayley Webster made the journey over the water from Ventnor with her mother Dawn’s 6 year-old skewbald gelding LK Ten Cents to take the top spot in the Nupafeed Supplements Senior Discovery Second Round held at Crofton Manor Equestrian Centre in Fareham, Hampshire on Saturday.
The qualifier proved to be fruitful for the five horse and rider combinations who gained their Championship Final qualification spots after producing a treble clear.
Each of the seventy-six starters came forward with the hope of producing a treble clear as they knew that this would secure a place in the Nupafeed Supplements Senior Discovery Championship Final, which will be held at the British Showjumping National Championships in August.
Hayley and LK Ten Cents were drawn third to go in an eleven horse final jump off and ensured that they delivered a clean and quick round to produce the only sub 45.00 seconds treble clear of the class. Their final time was clocked at 44.88 seconds.
A delighted Hayley said after her win:
“I made the journey specifically for this class and really came with the aim of producing a treble clear. To go on and win was just fantastic. LK Ten Cents jumped three lovely rounds and he really seemed to like it at Crofton Manor.”
Hayley Webster enjoyed a successful second round as she also went on to take third on Alan Stay’s 7 year-old chestnut gelding DJH Breitsox. Hayley secured another treble clear, this time in 47.91 seconds.
Five combinations from this second round will now go forward to the Nupafeed Supplements Senior Discovery Championship Final.
