Posted on September 20, 2022
The final of the three competition series, which made up the North Island Inter-Schools Dressage Championships, took place on Sunday 11 September.
Sam Keane (Batten House) and Hayley Newington (Hillary) travelled to St Peter’s School in Cambridge to compete in the third series after having seen some strong success in the initial two competitions.
Sam Keane, competing on her mount Xena WP, received her best marks across the series, placing eighth in both tests for the day. Her combined scores and placings across the series led to her achieving the ultimate title of Champion North Island Level 2 Horse and Rider. This was an outstanding achievement after three tough competitions.
Hayley Newington riding Mendoza produced two strong tests, placing first in her Level 1B test and third in her 1A test on the day. These top placings saw her achieve an overall third placing in Level 1 across the North Island series, which was another amazing result for the season.
