Alfie Bailey, a 12-year-old rider who still has the remainder of this year competing in 128cms, delivered impressive performances against adult riders in the International Arena at Hickstead. The competition took place on 12-13 September during the second weekend of the All England September tour.
In the 1m championship, Bailey claimed both second and third positions. He finished in second place aboard Barbara’s Dancer and took third place riding Midnight Time.
Bailey also earned a third-place finish in the 1.20m amateur final riding Gemmarco 16, a stallion owned by Sandra Pavitt. The pair recorded the fastest time in the 1.20m class by around four seconds, but clipped the very last fence. The amateur final was won by Alana Collett on Rathbride Millie.
