John Boy qualifies for Scope Showjumping Championships
Lauren and Waltons Top Flight (John Boy) qualified for the National 1.15m Members Cup at Patchetts today. This sees them through to the Scope Championships in August. John Boy jumped a good round and went into 2nd place after the jump off but got overtaken by a couple of speed merchants and ended up 5th.
They followed this with the Foxhunter. John Boy jumped an effortless round until they reached the final combination… rider error! Lauren totally misjudged the stride and John Boy launched into orbit over the first fence leaving no chance to get over the second. He saved himself but deposited Lauren on her butt! He wandered off confused whilst Lauren brushed herself down amongst the excited Paramedics. (They hadn’t had much to do all day!) Lauren is fine but a bit stiff – John Boy totally unfazed.
Brilliant news for qualifying – really well done, fantastic result
– hope you are not too black and blue
