The whole Backwell School Equestrian team made it to the national British Showjumping finals in August 2025.  We had a team in the 90cm (Lola B, Hattie M & Briony W), Hattie M as an individual at 1m and Holly M as an individual at 60cm and 70cm.  Holly did exceptionally well to qualify in huge classes as these heights are so popular for schools.

The atmosphere was huge for the children and horses at Stoneleigh Park in Kenilworth, with temperatures hitting 34 degrees, loud music, flags and over 50 children in each class – the fastest and the best the UK had to offer.  Our Backwell girls really did do us so proud. 

Here are the results:

90cm team (Lola, Briony & Hattie): 4^th place nationally for Backwell School, with Hattie M joint 1^st amongst the teams.

1m: Hattie M 7^th nationally for Backwell School.

70cm: Holly M team 4^th for Bristol & Somerset.

Congratulations team Backwell. What an incredible set of results!
