Team GBR

European Champion Joanne Eccles won the inaugural  CVI**Neeroeteren at the weekend.  Joanne put on another polished performance to lead the pack again with a good margin. Simone Wiegele and Antje Hil form Germany filled the next two spots, but Antje had to fight for the 3rd spot as Hannah Eccles GBR (Joanne’s sister) was so close and the two girls swapped places through the 4 rounds, but it was Antje who finally took the higher place in the end. Both girls competed on their regular horse WH Bentley lunged by their father John Eccles.

The Eccles sisters then also won the Pas de deax class by a huge margin, a new championship class  comprising of 2 rounds of freestyle. They score a very high 8.0,  this was the first time the girls competed internationally in this class. They competed on their individual horse WH Bentley, lunged by their father John Eccles.

The Scottish Equestrian vaulting Team (SEVT) put on a very solid performance to  achieve 6.3 and finish 6th in a very competitive class. The team was lunged by Amanda McLachlan on their horse Tylers Kernal.
In the junior individual Elliose Cundy (14) in her first international finished 16th on 6.1 achieving a international qualifying  score and it was a very good performance as she competed on a borrowed horse from John Eccles that she sat on for the first time on Friday! Helen finished just behind in 23th.
