Start:

Over eighty competitors attended the Endurance GB Westmoor Ride on Sunday 22nd July. The ride is famously known throughout the West Country for its links with Daphne du Maurier’s Jamaica Inn, which is located next to the venue. The route explored the beautiful but isolated countryside of East Cornwall described in the classic novel. The 2007 event hosted its first Endurance Ride and attracted over fourteen entries in addition to the popular competitive and pleasure ride classes. Unfortunately due to the torrential rainfall over the moor this summer organisers Judy White and Pam Ritchie were forced to restrict crewing on the course to only one place. To assist riders, they offered water points on course at the check-points “We had a lady providing crewing at CP3 who had no experience of endurance and is usually involved with show-jumping. She remarked how polite everyone was and how they all thanked her, which is a credit to our members” said organiser Pam. The ride “had a very high success rate although lots of shoes were lost, which accounted for the high number of retired on course” Pam went on to explain. “One of our vets said she liked coming to endurance events because the horses are all in such good condition which is gratifying.”

In the 82km ER Lesley Dore and Firebird notched up another win in quick succession following their win of the 80km ER at Minions at the start of July. Lesley from Newton Abbot completed the course in a respectable 15.33kmph. Unfortunately Jo Chisholm and her former AHS Marathon winning horse who were hot on Lesley’s heals were forced to retire on course after Kahnspur lost a shoe shortly after leaving the final vetgate. Jill Semmens and her promising new horse Evermore Exciting moved up into second place, which allowed Chair of the South West Branch Mrs Annie Joppe to take third place. There were nine completions from a field of fourteen. For further information about events across the South West visit www.endurancegbsouthwest.com
