With very few opportunities left to qualify for the Cushionbed British Showjumping Scope Festival, competitors flocked to Mousehold Farm, Rackheath to enjoy Josie Gates' wonderful facilities for the Norfolk Show Jumping Club event.

Six double clears took the six qualifying tickets in The Katherine James 1.0m Qualifier. From the 32 starters it was Georgina Kidner and Ancalagon Fly, who posted a very fast time to win the class just ahead of Lucy Hall's striking grey, Salix, ridden by Lauren Raynor.

In the 1.05m Adventurer all six jump-off contenders were guaranteed their spot at the final and only two achieved double clears round Keith Dellar's challenging jump-off track.

The fastest of these was John Garrett riding the former race horse Petit Pistalet, less than half a second ahead of Louise Bussey and Wodehouse Alqua. With eight quality horses through to the jump off, to qualify for The Smarter Transport 1.15m class, a double clear had to be achieved. The winning round was claimed by June Gotts and the consistent chestnut Silvano Van Texelbos.

On the Sunday it was the turn of the ponies to jump on the lovely surface and stake their claim to attend the Scope Festival at the end of August. Katie Thurtle had a very successful day, qualifying Boyog for the 1.0m Adventurer and Ariel Express for the 1.15m Members cup.
