Success at NSEA Grassroots Championships for Our Young Riders
Bryanston Prep’s young equestrians shone at the prestigious NSEA Grassroots Championships at Hickstead this summer, bringing home fantastic results and showing true team spirit throughout the competition.
The Team National Grassroots 60cm Championship title was secured by a superb effort from Jess F (riding Storm and Laddie), Sofia A (riding Seb), and Paola A (riding Storm). Individual successes followed, with Paola A winning 1st place in the 50cm class against a field of more than 70 competitors. Max H also impressed with an 8th place finish in the 40cm National Championships.
The first day also brought a string of top 15 finishes:
- Alice H – 4th in the 40cm
- Frankie L – 8th in the 40cm
- Max H – 10th in the 40cm
- Edward L – 5th in the 40cm (out of 61)

- Ollie S – 13th in the 40cm (out of 61)
- Bertie B – 10th in the 50cm (out of 70)
Consistency was the hallmark of the team’s performance, achieving an outstanding 19 clear rounds out of 22 on the second day.
Huge congratulations go to all the riders representing Bryanston Prep at the event: Edward L, Ollie S, Bertie B, Jess F, Alice H, Rosa H, Aggy B, Sofia A, Max H, Frankie L and Paola A.
Riding teacher, Charley Camp, commented: '
This success was not only about the riders but also about the community behind them. Parents and pupils alike pitched in – from making coffee to mucking out – ensuring the weekend ran smoothly. Their dedication and support were invaluable. Thank you.'
Well done to everyone involved for their hard work, determination, and teamwork.
