Success with the Howell’s Equestrian Team – winning at Gadlas Inter Schools Show Jumping Competition.

The annual Gadlas Inter-Schools Challenge, held at Southview Arena in Cheshire, saw the ‘Howell’s Horrors’ taking first place in the hotly contested 2’3″ class. The team consisting of Georgina Clark (riding Sinva), Abigail Bevan (Cyril) and Charlotte Rowlands (Wilma), beat 11 other teams from schools in Cheshire, Shropshire and Wales, to take first place on a remarkable score of zero jumping penalties. Howell’s Hoppers (Lucinda Harris, Nicole Evans, Alexa Rowlands and Robyn Cannell) were 5th in the same class, narrowly missing out on the prizes.

The 2’9″ class was contested by an amazing 24 teams and the Howell’s Hooligans missed 4th place by a few time penalties, with only one fence down between them. Well done, Beatrice Jones, Natalie and Stephanie Hughes and Naomi Adey-Jones! The Howell’s Heroes (Hanni Frankland, Francesca Bradley, Katie Kent and Megan G Jones) also finished 8th with onlty2 fences down in a very close and exciting competition.

It was a great day, with fantastic team spirit and great performances for all. Well done to all horses, ponies and riders!
