SANEF SCHOOLS SECOND QUALIFIER

Last weekend, 8th and 9th March, the Mitchell House Equestrian Team competed against the equestrian teams from twelve other schools in the Limpopo Region.
The show was held at the Broadlands Equestrian Centre in Polokwane.

Riders from Mitchell House competed in the disciplines of Dressage, Performance Riding, Working Riding, Equitation, and Show Jumping. Our team consisted of learners from Grade 0 right up to Grade 7 and 8, namely:

Grade 0 
  Akila Ramdharie
  Danica Altenroxel
  Hannah Rosendorff

Grade 4
  Georgia Young
  Michael Van Zyl

Grade 5 
  Kelsy-Ann Mostert

Grade 6 
  Nicole Botha
  Cailin Morris
  Nicola Bourdillon

Grade 7 
  Gyorgy-Lee von Finkenstein

Grade 8  
  Marius Hongve

Apart from looking smart and showing exemplary horsemanship, our riders received a number of first and second place rosettes.

The team will be riding in three to four qualifying shows this year after which the provincial team, made up of riders from all participating schools, will be announced.

My thanks go to the trainers and parents, as well as the riders, for ensuring that equestrian sport remains a noble pursuit.
