Notley High School and Braintree Sixth Form has recently launched a Riding Team. The team recently competed in their first event - Riding Captain Josie-May Reynolds (9O) has the following report from the competition at Norton Heath.

We had our first show jumping competition on Saturday 28th November. Rosie Bartlett (9L) competed first as an individual at 70cm; she had a fabulous round and unfortunately didn’t get placed. Lily Richards (11O), Isabel Oakley (11H) and I competed as a team in the 80cm and 90cm. We didn’t get placed in the 80cm but pulled out an amazing 3rd place out of 12 in the 90cm; an amazing achievement for our first competition. Additionally, Isabel was also placed 5th as an individual. I am very proud of everyone that competed; everyone tried their best and there was a great team spirit. We are now aiming to qualify for the National Championships next year. 

The Riding Club welcomes riders of all abilities - if students are interested in joining they can speak to Josie-May or Mrs Wager for more information.
