Double win for Hopkins at Patchetts

Lisa Hopkins and Nemo III continued their recent good form to head the intermediaire I at Patchetts EC on 71%, reports Ruth Pearce. Lisa also led the advanced 100 on the Irish Draught Boley Pearl. The grand prix went to Lisa White and Hucarlos. Julie Hugo led the medium on Remington and intermediaire II on Tracy Stafford’s Mai Schone Maestro.

Hayley Bracewell and Likeur II proved the combination to beat at Kingswood Equestrian Centre, winning the advanced medium, advanced 100 and prix st georges, reports Jo Prestwich. Hayley was also second to herself in the advanced medium with Ontario. The only other rider to get a look in was Sam Fish, who secured the medium qualifier with Gunstone If Only.

Amanda Renouard picked up four zeros with Time to Tango in the elementary music at Addington Manor, but recovered in style to take the medium music on board Lysander IV, reports Ruth Pearce. Caroline Hutley and Nordic Doll finished second in the medium music behind Amanda and headed the elementary music.
