White Aces Young Rider

WHAT: McMillan Equine Feeds NZ National Showjumping and Showhunter Championships
WHERE: NEC McLeans Island, Christchurch
WHEN: February 5-8, 2015

Invercargill’s Nicole White has made it back-to-back wins on Cricklewood Ace in the T&M Nurseries Canterbury Equestrian Young Rider at the McMillan Equine Feeds NZ National Showjumping and Showhunter Championships in Christchurch today.
White came to the championships with one mission for Cricklewood Ace, and goes home with the one she wanted. It was his only class of the whole weekend.
“I am absolutely thrilled. It’s my last year in Young Rider and this is what we came here for,” she said.
Eleven started the class, with a North versus South Young Rider Challenge adding extra incentive for the riders.
Local rider and current Young Rider of the Year Rose Alfeld (West Melton) on My Super Nova started the ball rolling with a super clear over the big, technical John Vallance-designed course, putting the South Islanders ahead. After Olivia Robertson (Ohoka) and Ngahiwi Cisco picked up an uncharacteristic 12 faults, Emily Hayward-Morgan (Te Awamutu put in another smart round, also clear, to make it one apiece in the team standings. South Island team member Harry Feast (West Melton) had a less than happy time with Double J Butler for elimination, with Georgia Massie (Dannevirke) also picking up 16 faults with Larinium LS. Next out, White and Cricklewood Ace were foot perfect, with a clear round to follow from Samantha Morrison (Tauranga) on Biarritz. Robertson was next on her second ride, DHs Ceniki, picking up 9 faults, with Briar Burnett-Grant and Ngahiwi Telephonic finishing with 8 faults.
Just four returned for the jump-off against the clock, with Alfeld and Hayward-Morgan taking rails. Next to go White and Cricklewood Ace produced another faultless performance coming home in a speedy 40.66 seconds. Last to go, Samantha Morrison gave it all on Biarritz, but despite coming home quicker in 40.20 seconds, she paid for it with one fence down handing White the title for the second year running.
There was just one rail in the team’s competition with the North Islanders taking the honours and the inaugural Cricklewood Ace Trophy donated by the White family.
The Total Realty Telford Junior Rider was an equally exciting competition with 10 going through to the jump-off, but in the end the honours lay squarely with Gisborne’s Larina Dolman on Kiwi Lansing, backing up from success in the Platinum Performance Goldengrove Stud Seven Year Old Championship on Thursday.
The Betavet Caledonian Amateur was won by Anna Douglass (Timaru) St Henry with a superior jump-off while the Tavern Harewood ESNZ Pro Am was won by Zoe Shore (Ashburton) on Zara.
With the second round of all the other championship classes held today, there were many changes at the top of the leaderboards. Only the top 20 start in the finals tomorrow, with riders riding in reverse order of placings.
