Three riders from Riding for the Disabled Isle of Man have won big at the National Qualifiers.

The riders travelled to Formby to attend the National Qualifiers for the North West region.

They competed in the Dressage and Countryside Challenge.

This is the first time the group has sent riders to compete since 2014, and the team were grateful to Gwen Wordley, and Karen and Holly Southeran for lending them their ponies to ride.

All three riders were introduced to their respective ponies for the first time on arrival, and went on to compete together over the weekend.

Sarah Kelly rode Teddy; Chloe Dooley rode Henry and Ben Corkill rode Henry.

Jackie Turnbull from the charity said: ‘They all performed exceptionally well, and all won their group dressage classes, qualifying for the national competition later in the year.

‘In addition, Chloe came first, and Sarah third in the Countryside Challenge.’
