The team supported each other throughout the competition, and enjoyed each other’s successes, which was great to see.

Katy McKeough, equestrian team manager at Bede’s, said: “We were delighted that the Bede’s equestrian team made it to the NSEA finals again this year, with Josie Tabb jumping a fantastic clear round and India Piper-Dadswell coming individually third in the 1.10m final.

“It is great to have equestrian events going ahead again safely - with plenty of Covid safety measures in place.
