2006
Dartford and District Riding Club likes to field both Junior and Senior teams to competitions in all spheres. The club pays entry fees for any member representing it. Being in Area 10 of the British Riding Clubs is quite a tough call, with many long standing and respected riding clubs in ‘opposition’ for coveted places at The National Championships, yet Dartford have performed very well. Within the last three years successes have included qualification for the National Championships in Senior Open Horse Trials ( Leigh Ann Kerr ), Junior Riding Test ( Hannah Lewis ), and a Senior Novice Dressage and Riding Test Team ( Flair Sifleet, Leigh Ann Kerr, Emma Swarbrick and Clare Drury ).
We have also qualified for the London and South East Championships in Senior Showjumping ( Flair Sifleet, Sara Mac Donald, Jackie Liddell and Clare Drury ).
This year, we have fielded a very promising Junior jumping team of Stacey Arnold, Lacey Haward, Hollie Leathem and Jessica Sifleet who were 3rd at The Golden Cross Area 10 ‘friendly’ and 3rd again at the winter qualifier held at Eaglesfield.
Our result at the Area 10 Horse Trials held at Ardingly was a team 3rd, ( Emma Swarbrick, Sara MacDonald, Clare Drury and Katie Sanders ) qualifying us for the London and South East Championships. Katie was also a fantastic 1st in her section which qualified her for the National Championships at Offchurch in August, where she was placed 8th individually.
We aimed Junior and Senior teams at the Dressage, Riding Test, Show Jumping and Equitation Jumping qualifiers this summer. The senior dressage team of Emma Swarbrick, Dany Cocklin, Stacey Ravell and Virginia Rider won their qualifier at Detling and went to Lincoln. The Senior Equitation Jumping team of Clare Drury, Katie Sanders, Leigh Ann Kerr and Sara MacDonald also won their qualifier at Felbridge and therefore also represented the club at the nationals. In addition, another dressage team (Clare Drury, Flair Sifleet, Leigh Ann Kerr and Katie Sanders) were 3rd in the area dressage and also 3rd in the riding test, qualifying them for The London and South East Championships. Here, individual placings were secured by Sara MacDonald, (6th Horse Trails) Clare Drury (4th Riding Test) and Debbi Gilbert (4th Dressage).
Dartford and District have also been successful in team jumping. At Bluebarn, Team Dartford (Stacey Arnold, Nicola Wood and Janice Rickell) won the open, hosted by Canterbury Riding Club. Then another Dartford team (Amey Hudson-Smith, Jessica Lovell and Clare Drury) won the Open Teams of Three hosted by Blackhorse Events.
2006 has been Dartford’s most successful year teamwise. We intend to build on our successes and are looking forward to competing in various competitions indoors over the winter months.
In all that our teams do, the enjoyment of competing as a team is paramount.
