ISODE Event 25th& 26th September

23rd National Inter Schools One Day Event

Harry Lane on Jonny the Spy

For the first time ever, Sherborne put forward a team for the ISODE at Stonar. We entered the BE 80 class, as two members of the team were calling on borrowed horses in order to compete. Team members were: Oliver Coombe-Tennant (L6e), Harry Lane (5b) and Rory Featherstone (4f).

Rory, the youngest member of the team, making his debut representing Sherborne, produced an outstanding performance in all three phases to take 4th place in Section B on the 19 year old mare, Dark Star. An excellent dressage score, with a clear show-jumping round was followed by a clear cross-country round, with only a few time penalties to add to his dressage score. Harry and Ollie both had one show-jumping fence down after solid performances in the dressage phase. Harry produced an excellent clear cross-country round on Jonny the Spy, finishing 8th in Section A. Ollie was unlucky to have three stops cross country on the less experienced young horse, Reybridge Ryley. Ryley belongs to Ollie's brother, and whilst the final score was a little disappointing for Ollie, he and Ryley worked well together to bring home the team safely. Well done to all three team members.
