Success for Lucinda at the Pony Club Showjumping Qualifiers
Lucinda O'G (Year II) has secured a place at the Northern England and Wales Regional Championship Finals after a brilliant performance at the Vale of York Pony Club competition held at Port Royal Equestrian Centre!
Riding for the York and Ainsty South Pony Club, Lucinda and Liam’s Lady rode to victory in the PC80 class. She secured the top spot with an impressive time of 33.31 seconds, beating the next competitor by almost three seconds.
