School Report- Results From NSEA October 2022 Champs at Keysoe International

Published by The Grange School on Wednesday 30th of November 2022

Another NSEA Champs week saw rain and mud but that didn’t stop our team in their successes and enthusiasm throughout. What a manic five days of competition but hugely successful and great fun with amazing people.

Who knew we could fit that many classes into so few days with 11 riders (ranging in age from 9-17) and 16 horses (with several girls riding multiple horses to add to the confusion and complexity)…it was head spinning at times but super proud of all team members, including siblings, friends and parents who were all fabulous fun as ever and always ready to muck in and help each other out.

A MASSIVE thank you to Orla Stott, an ex Grange Equestrian Team member for chief head groom skills, Ed Hodgson, our chief photographer for taking over 2,600 photos and Maisie Rowland for coming along to help and support our team. Also a HUGE congratulations to our youngest ever NSEA champs rider Eliza Caldwell, from Junior School and first timers Daisy Caldwell and Imi Phillips who have all shown true grit and
determination throughout the 5 days. The Caldwell girls even commenting that Champs was more fun than a holiday in Lanzarote...that may also have something to do with the chocolate sundae milkshake consumption.

Fantastic to win so many buckets (equivalent to trophies) a total of 27…whoop whoop definitely a Grange record

We would love to see more riders qualifying for next years Champs (October 2023) especially as it was several of the older riders last year this time. Here are the next lot of qualifiers…

November - Pop up Dressage at home
26 Nov Eventers Challenge at Eland Lodge (Hickstead Qualifier)
December Pop up Dressage at home

And remember if we are top 2 in our RPL league at the end of the season we can put forward a team of up to 2 riders at each height. So the more competitions you enter throughout the year, hopefully the more RPL points we get.
