Subject: Dengie National Finals

Hi to you all!!
What a great Dengie Area final we had at Rowallan yesterday Saturday 23rd February. What a day to travel. Typical Scottish weather with the snow lashing down most people turned up that were successful in the early rounds, in spite of the weather.
A great course was ready in the main arena for the final with ten skilfully placed jumps including a double and a treble. The track stretched the 27 entries to the full, which was expected of Rowallan and well worthy of the Scottish Area 19 Dengie second round competition.
After the first round there were just 11 clears. Just the right amount to go on to the tricky jump off. There were a few chances to clip the seconds off but for most riders the speed of the track was enough.
Clear rounds were few and far between, and with the tenth rider Nichola Wagstaffe riding Lady Sanchez representing Lanark and Upperward to jump there were only three clear rounds and only four to qualify.
Nichola finished her round clear bidding for the 4th qualifying position but would it be fast enough at 38.6secs to keep the last Eglinton rider out of the ribbons.
The last rider was clear over the first two fences but lost her concentration at the third fence a large oxer spread didn't take off in time and demolished the fence.
A great sigh of relief in the Lanark and Upperwood camp. Nichola having represented her club at the Cowdray Polo Championships for that last two years the only Pony Club from Area 19, was delighted to be given the chance to jump for her club at Warwickshire College at the National Dengie Winter League Final,with two friends from Lanark and Renfrew James Spy from Colgrain Equation Centre Cardross Helensburgh who came second and Erin Maconochie also from Helesburgh who came third.
Thanks to Rowallan who again hosted a great competition and the three rosettes we well recieved and appreciated by the winners.
Well done to all competitors

Kindest Regards

The Editor.
