Old Surrey and Burstow Hunt Pony Club Eventers Challenge Hickstead, West Sussex Saturday 8th October 2016 Words by Jane Cobb and pictures by Craig Payne
T
he Old Surrey & burstow (OSb) Pony club ran its inaugural eventers challenge at Hickstead on 8th October. The event proved extremely popular and entries had to be closed well before expected, when they reached over the 200 mark! The course built by john Farrell, in Hickstead’s superb all Weather arena, proved both fun and challenging, with the inclusion of the steps, bank, off-set doubles and of course the Hickstead Planks. a fantastic team of OSb Pony club volunteers ensured the day ran smoothly. jack Siggs jumped two classic rounds on coakham Stormy rebel, the horse his mother uses as a master’s horse for the Old Surrey and burstow Hunt, to win the 80cm class and to finish third in the 90cm class. anne marie cobb and Thomas are an exciting new partnership, which also proved successful in both the 80cm and 90cm classes, collecting placings in both. Holly PearsonTaylor and the ever-consistent Icarus secured placings in both the 70cm and 80cm classes. all three riders were representing the home Pony club and came away with huge smiles on their faces. With so many complements from competitors the branch has decided to make this a annual event, with plans already underway to hold an eventers challenge on the same weekend next year.
