Henriette Andersen and Warlocks Charm (pictured) sealed the headline class at the Addington Manor Premier League show, Buckinghamshire, 9-11 May 2015.
Henriette and ‘Ted’, a 12-year-old gelding by Jazz who she co-owns with Jennifer Charlesworth, achieved 70.20% to secure the LeMieux Grand Prix. In the close-fought competition, the exciting partnership was directly followed by Michael Eilberg with Woodlander Dornroeschen (69.53%) and Hannah Biggs with Weltzin (69.20%).
This was Henriette and Ted’s first competitive outing since their four thousand mile trek to Qatar to compete in Doha’s CDI5* in March. The pair earned second place in the grand prix special at the cutting edge middle-eastern venue, and look on course for an exciting future.
World Equestrian Games team silver-medalist, Michael Eilberg, was in typically good form at Addington. As well as breathing down Henriette’s neck in the grand prix, he topped the Fairfax Saddles Prix St Georges, this time with Elena Knyaginicheva’s Der Designer, a nine-year-old son of De Niro. Michael and the spellbinding stallion were considered the winners by all three judges, and were awarded 75.44% accordingly. Aboard Alison Ramseir’s Fuerst Sinclair, a towering, bay gelding by Fuerst Heinrich, Michael also clinched the Saracen Horse Feeds Intermediate I with 70.96%.
Other interesting combinations to make their mark were Sonia Baines with Sirius Black III and Daniel Greenwood with GF Deville who won a PSG apiece. They scored 72.76% and 73.03% respectively. Lisa Hopkins and Coole Contender impressed to win an inter I with 71.54% and Ryan Todd and Charlex Eskebjerg displayed their potential by taking victory in the inter II withn 69.04%.
In the under-21 divisions, pony rider Ottilie Bardsley and her new ride, Kingsley Ciske took the Pony Individual with 67.44% whilst Pippa Kearns and Hesselteich’s Desert Rose won the Pony Team with 67.24%. Rose Hugh-Smith and Florencio-sired gelding Florentino stormed the Junior Team with 72.43% whilst Emily Bradshaw took the Junior Individual with 66.45%. Victoria Maw with Bon Rouge CH and Amy Nash with Half Moon Revelation took the honours in the Young Rider tests.
