Placings For Manx Riders

Manx riders delivered a series of impressive performances on UK soil over the weekend, with top three finishes at multiple venues and solid results across the levels.

Issy Ennett produced a standout performance at Berkshire College of Agriculture, taking 3rd in the Open Novice Under‑18 with Ballyvadd Sarco.

They posted a 33 dressage, had one pole in show jumping, and jumped clear around what she described as a strong, technical cross‑country track.

Ennett said the result felt especially rewarding after a recent fall, and thanked coach Alex Holman and sponsors Cu‑Plas Callow.
