Our riders have recorded incredible achievements this summer including storming to success at the NSEA National Schools Championships Northern Festival.
Strathallan's Equestrian Coordinator, Julie Summersgill said, "We were delighted to field 7 riders at this prestigious event. The Northern Festival has over 350 entries from Scotland and England so I'm thrilled with how our team performed together and as individuals. Every rider took away at least 2 rosettes so huge congratulations to all of them. . We are incredibly impressed with their hard work and resilience."
"Huge thanks also go to all our supportive parents who have consistently been there for the team throughout the summer and last weekend. All the classes Strathallan entered were qualifiers for the prestigious NSEA National Championships in Bedfordshire at the end of October 2021."
