Bramham X Country results 10 June
Challenging and technical course asks many questions on saturday!

I check out fence 7.... a solid inviting fence with a considerable drop and short landing with a direct turn left downhill to the next fence

Over 12,000 visitors were baked in the blazing sun and were entertained by the sheer skill of the riders in todays jumping. 31 Juniors and 75 seniors began proceedings at 9.45 am on a day that certainly sorted out the wheat from the chaff.

Final results after the x country are...

Seniors
Ruth Edge and Marsh Mayfly take the lead on 56 followed closely by Andrew Nicholson on Henry Tankerville with a score of 57.7.
Andrew Nicholson had a really mixed day with a fall on Silbury Hill, but he must be delighted with Henry T, and his unflappable round. shown here bouncing out into the sunshine.

Lying third is Sarah Cohen with Hide and Seek II with a score of 58.8.

Paul Tapner (Aus) did a cracking round to bring himself up to 4th place.

Tim Price blazed the way for the Kiwis and had a magical ride accross country going clear with fastest time of the day. It was a real test for Nugget who rose to the occasion and showed what an excellent young combination this really is.

WATCH THIS SPACE!

Andrew Binnie's Time Square II looked solid and his 34th place does not reflect the depth of this pair.
Unfortunately Brook Staples Daws Willowherb was retired.
In fact 35 failed to finish!.... very testing indeed!
