GODOLPHIN School enjoyed their first ever senior school victory at the Hurstpierpoint College National Schools and Pony Club Jumping Championships.

The Godolphin Blue team rode out the winners of the class, which saw 43 teams from schools around the country compete for honours at the famous All England Jumping Course at Hickstead, West Sussex.

The results were very close, with the winning team of Katinka Brogaard (Bonnie Bright Talent), Imogen Yule (Blitzer Maloney) and Victoria Leabeater (Dulce E), finishing on a total of four faults.

Victoria also finished third individually on her intermediate event horse, Dulce E.

She said: "I'm really pleased with my mare. It's great to ride at Hickstead and a very nice way of keeping up with my showjumping!"
