Senior Inter Regionals
18 - 19 May 2024 at Pickering Grange, Leicestershire
The South & East’s huge squad of 36 riders is coming back down to earth after a weekend of fun, sunshine and some superb performances at the Senior Inter Regionals, held at Pickering Grance in Leicestershire.
The squad notched up not one, but two individual titles – congratulations Luke Prior and Charlotte Dorey (Novice and Prelim winners). But also, an amazing 13 other individual top ten placings.
The region then went on to win the overall championship, with team ‘Paco Rabanne’ taking the podium. Congratulations to Helen Bell riding Rathnageera Casino Royal, Charlotte Dorey, riding Deards Silver Bounce, Catherine Brindley riding Deerleap I and Samantha Black riding Zodibanta.
A very close 4th place were S&E team ‘Hermes’ : Luke Prior riding Millview Mamuka Rose, Nikki Goldup riding Watermill Rocks, Charlotte Fogel riding Royal William and Harriet Ford riding According to Archie.
In 10th team place S&E team ‘Cartier’ : Joanne Stacey riding I Boy, Abi Moore riding Coednewydd Kansas Express, Abbie Cornwall riding Castor and Corinne Murphy riding Firestarter III.
Pivotal to the team’s success was the support of their coaches (Char Lassetter and Hayley Liddiard), committee members (Senior Rider rep Jodie Smith and vice chair Mat Smith) and Development Officers, Sharon Walker and Katharine Perry.
The weekend was summed up by regular SE team rider Lauren Simmonds:
‘I know it sounds like a cliche to those on the outside of team events, but team comps are just the best, you cry and celebrate together. You call tests for people who at 8am on a Saturday are strangers but friends by 5pm on the Sunday. Your tests might not be perfect, but you’re cheering those that were mega!’
Thanks also goes to the S&E squad 2024 supporters The Country Osteopath, Equimotional, Chart Stables and Max Gut Health Equine.
