Our Equestrian team had an incredible weekend at the NSEA Addington Championships during half term, with every rider performing brilliantly and showing great competitiveness throughout the event. Our riders included: Year 8’s Daisy and Tati, Year 9’s Jazzy and Kirsty, Year 10’s Avery and Grace, and Year 11’s Harry and Zac.

Our riders kicked off the show with the 70–75cm Jumping with Style team, featuring Daisy, Avery, Tati, and Kirsty, who rode beautifully to finish in 6th place. Our 80–85cm Team of Harry, Tati, Daisy, and Kirsty followed with another strong performance, securing 5th place.

Later that day, two teams competed in the 70–75cm Showjumping Championships; the top eight teams from the first rounds qualified for the evening jump-off. Our team of Daisy, Tati, Kirsty, and Jazzie placed 8th, earning a spot in the jump-off. Daisy, Tati, and Kirsty all delivered three clear rounds with quick times, climbing the leaderboard to finish an impressive 4th overall.
The second class of the evening was the New Windsor Challenge 90–95cm Showjumping, where Grace, Zac, and Harry represented team Woodbridge. The atmosphere was electric, and all three riders produced outstanding clear rounds, finishing in 3rd place — a fantastic result in a highly competitive class.

Saturday marked our riders’ second day of competition, starting with the 80–85cm Showjumping Championships; following the same format as the previous day, the top eight teams advanced to the evening jump-off. This time, both our teams made it through! Daisy, Kirsty, Zac, and Harry rode superbly to take 2nd place in a fast and exciting jump-off, while our second team of Grace, Harry, and Daisy finished a strong 8th.
Riders also competed in the 90–95cm Jumping with Style Championships, where our team of Grace, Zac, and Harry delivered another excellent performance, finishing in 4th place.

Congratulations and well done to all of our riders!
