Having faced the very real prospect that the Chiltern League could fold, it was great the season was able to start yesterday at the Keysoe Equestrian Centre, Bedfordshire. 28 athletes competed for SNHAC, with turnout from our girls / women particularly impressive.

It couldn’t be more different to the summer. Laps of an all-weather track were replaced with laps of an equestrian horse course, including the notorious water-jump which hilariously one of our team said, ‘wasn’t that deep!’ Perhaps for horses!

The weather was variable. It wouldn’t be 2024 if there wasn’t rain intermittently, sometimes very heavy - those by the tents were asked at one stage if they would like to take cover in the big marquee there! Pity those running in it!

Well done to everyone. A great effort as usual and fantastic to see some new faces amongst the ‘old’ regulars (who have seen and done it all before of course!).

The results are on the results page. You will see that the juniors are doing brilliantly again, taking up 3rd place in Division 2…..out of 22!!! I am sure that we will get even stronger as the season progresses, next stop Milton Keynes on the 9th November.

There are photos of some of our athletes in action on the gallery page and others can be found at https://markeaston.zenfolio.com/f532397138
