A WREXHAM showjumper has enjoyed success at an international equestrian event.
Rhys Jones scored a win in the Nupafeed Supplements Senior Discovery Second Round at Aintree International Equestrian Centre.
The centre in Liverpool proved to be a popular choice with riders as 55 combinations came forward to take on Ian Clark’s track, all aiming to jump the all-important treble clear to gain a qualifying ticket to the Nupafeed Senior Discovery Championship Final held at the British Showjumping National Championships at Stoneleigh Park, Warwickshire in August.
Of the initial starting field 14 went through to the final jump-off but only eight could navigate their way across the course faultlessly.
Wrexham based Rhys Jones came out on top with the Quidam De Revel sired six year-old Belgium bred mare No Limit V, owned by Colin Bevan. They produced a treble clear in 35.16 seconds, the fastest time of the class and 2.34 seconds quicker than his nearest rival.
He is now going forward to the Nupafeed Supplements Senior Discovery Championship Final later this year.
