A Year 10 student from Prior Park College in Bath recently competed at and won her Eventing class at last weekend’s Nunney Horse Trials.
Zara Neill, student at Prior Park College competed with her pony Owen at last weekend’s prestigious Nunney Horse Trials in Frome.
Zara and her trusty steed, who have been training together for the last three years, were competing in the Eventing ONu18 event, comprising Dressage, Show Jumping and Cross Country.
The calibre of the event saw Zara competing against international riders.
Nevertheless, she came away as the champion of her class, achieving a score of 29 in the Dressage, and a Double Clear in the Show Jumping and Cross Country, with a 0.4 time penalty.
These results led to a final score of 29.4, making Zara the champion in a class of almost forty competitors.
Zara and Owen are no strangers to success since they began training together, having competed in several high-profile events throughout the year, including finishing in 18th place in the British National Pony Trials.
