U12 Win St Andrew's Tournament

This was a great tournament because the girls got the opportunity to play all the teams involved. This meant that the girls really had to concentrate for the entire afternoon. They played well against all of the opposition:

v Bedes 9- ½ Won
v St Andrew’s 6 ½- 2 Won
v Marlborough House  lost 3 ½-5
v Ashdown House Won 10 ½-3 1/2
v Windlesham House Won 5-3
v Moira House Won 11-0
v Bucks Wood Won- game forfeited by opposition due to time: Brambletye scored 4 rounders scored in 2 minutes!

Receiving the trophy

Windlesham House were our toughest match and they were the eventual Runners Up, but we were on top form. We only dropped one match, but this still put us top of the table. Our strongest performance was against Moira House where we got the team out in three minutes and they were unable to score!
There was no individual player of the tournament because what was amazing about our team was that they all contributed.
Well done team.

NSEA Show

A very busy show last Saturday at the National Schools Equestrian Association Show, hosted at Felbridge by Copthorne Prep School.

Daisy, Rosie and Rosanna rode very well in the 80 cm class. In the 90 cm class they did very well with a team 4th place. They were only a team of three so there is more pressure to go clear. Special mention to Rosie with a lovely round and her first time competing at that height.

We have a Grass Roots team already going to the Regional Championships in the Autumn but Lolly and Christopher wanted to try for individuals placings and Christopher came a respectable 4th in the 70 cm class.

Big Tree Climbing at Brambletye

The Big Tree Climbing Company came to school on Sunday the 22nd May and every boarder scaled our mighty oak tree at least once!

Borde Hill Horse Trials 2016

Congratulations to Tallulah who came 6th overall in the Borde Hill Horse Trials on Saturday 28th May. She was competing against adults, some of them professional, so the competition was very tough indeed.  

She did really well, achieving a double-clear in the show jumping and cross-country phases.  Her dressage was good but not good enough to be in the top placings.  Tallulah says that she is very determined to make her mark this eventing season and this is very good start.
