Six equestrian teams from Burgess Hill School for Girls had a winning day competing at an inter-school show jumping event held at Hickstead on Thursday 17th September.
The 20 riders, who ranged from a girl in Year 2 of the Junior School to a student in the Upper Sixth year of the Senior School, competed in three classes and were successfully placed in all of them.
Mrs Carruthers, Head of Art and organiser of equestrian activities in the Senior School, said “This was a wonderful way for our riders to start the Autumn term. It is particularly pleasing that students of all ages can compete together in the riding teams, with the older girls supporting their younger teammates. The more able riders participate together whatever their age, and even the parents get actively involved. The riding teams are now an established and thriving area of our extra-curricular activities.”
