NANTWICH'S Bobbie Heath stormed to victory in the Charles Britton Equestrian Construction Winter JA Classic Qualifiers at Addington Manor Equestrian Centre in Buckingham.
Heath and Antonia Platt forged ahead of their competitors to take a victory apiece after producing careful clear rounds on board their respective rides.
As part of a 50-strong starting field, each rider was vying for a sought after qualification spot for a championship that will be held during the British Masters International Horse Show, also at SouthView Equestrian Centre (30th June - 2rd July 2017).
Fifteen-year-old Heath used her final draw to full advantage.
She battled 27 keen combinations to become one of just six riders to make it through to the final jump off.
Holding her nerve, Heath rode 13-year-old bay gelding, Cisco Bay II, owned by Graham Heath, to a fast and accurate treble clear in 43.17 seconds.
Securing second place was 14-year-old Sienna Charles from Alton, Hampshire.
Perdita Digby, aged 14, travelled from Dorchester in Dorset to scoop third place and a treble clear in 45.93 seconds.
