Huge congratulations to our Equestrian team, Year 10’s Grace, Year 11’s Harry and Zac and Year 13’s Eve, on winning the HWA Intermediate 90-95cm Team Eventers’ Challenge Championships at the National Schools Equestrian Association Championships last week at Hickstead. This now totals five Eventers’ Challenge team wins in the last four years and is an incredible achievement – well done!

“Another year, another NSEA Championship Title!
We are beyond proud of Team Woodbridge School at this year’s NSEA Championship Hickstead on winning the 90-95 Eventers Challenge Championship. Our team of Year 10’s Grace, Year 11’s Harry and Zac and Year 13’s Eve, held first place position from early morning until the end of the day; it is an incredibly huge achievement to take this title.
Woodbridge then went on to take second place in the 70-75cm Showjumping County Championship, congratulations to our riders Year 9’s Kirsty, along with Year 8’s Daisy and Tati. They each jumped round one clear, then went on to all jump a second round clear – and very quickly. Coming in just one second behind the winners, this was another incredible achievement, well done everyone!
Thank you to all the riders for being not only brilliant riders but also for making these trips so much fun. Huge shout out to their parents who are so dedicated – we couldn’t do it without you!”
