Jumping Competition |

Tuesday, 21 June 2011 |
The rain held off for a very pleasant Equestrian BBQ and with a tense, highly competitive jumping accumulator on the evening of Wednesday 15th June. The girls competing gained valuable points for their houses. The following day several of the academic teaching staff commented how lovely it was for them to watch the girls riding.
The results of the Equestrian Jumping Competition were: 1st place Natalie Hughes 960 points, 2nd place Stephanie Hughes 940 points and 3rd place Kate Wordsworth 240 points. Unbelievably, all three girls are from Austen House who will receive points.

National Schools Competition |

Georgina Clarke and Charlotte Rowlands (Year 10) recently entered the regional competition for the national schools dressage. Charlotte rode very good tests on her horse and was a credit to the school.
Georgina took both of her horses. 'Sam' did well and was 3rd in the novice class (only 1st and 2nd actually qualify for the national championship). She then rode 'Tommy' in the elementary class. She won with 78% which in dressage terms is a very high score. This means that Georgina will be going to the national championship in October representing Howell's School as an individual. She was also 2nd overall for the second-highest score of the day over all four classes. The winning team on the day was Rydal Penrhos. Well done to both girls.

During Summer 2010, Georgina Clarke (Year 10) competed as part of a team for the Friendly International in Ireland and she was placed 4th in the championship. Her parents say it was quite an experience taking a pony over on the ferry!
From there Georgina went to Keysoe as part of the British Young Riders dressage team for Wales where Georgina was placed 5th in the Championship out of a total of 53 in her section: another fantastic result.
Georgina then competed at the British Dessage summer regional finals (to qualify you need to win 2 classes). Young riders, adults, professional and amateurs all compete equally so to get to the regionals was an achievement. She was placed 13th in her section.
Then she came 3rd at the Pony Club area dressage competition as part of a team for the Flint and Denbigh Pony Club. The team qualified for the Nationals on 15th August. She then competed at the Summer Championships for Ponies Uk which Georgina qualified for by winning a working hunter pony class and a ridden mountain and moorland class. She also rode for Wales at the Sheepgate Under 25's dressage competiton. Inbetween all of this she was eventing on Bugsy qualifing for the British Evening Junior 100 final.
During November 2010 Georgina attended an evening presentation in Cardiff where she was presented with a certificate and jacket badges for competing and representing Wales by Steve Arnett, Chairman for British Dressage - Wales.
