Dear members,

 

We are very pleased to announce that the winner of the HKEF Senior Inter-school Eventing Challenge 2020 is Daniella Lin of Renaissance College (RCHK). Although there has been no final leg of the competition this year, the judges have been able to use the results from the earlier six one-day events to make their determination.  

 

A total of 13 riders entered the Senior Inter-school Eventing Challenge. Their task: to participate in at least two of the six scheduled eventing competitions held by BREC and HKEF earlier this season (21 Sep, 12 Oct, 2 Nov, 30 Nov, 14 Dec and 1 Feb) and to complete at least one competition without elimination in order to proceed to the final as part of the Eventing Horse of the Year Show. Competitors normally carry forward 20% of the penalties drawn from their best result in any of the earlier competitions, which is then added to their total penalties. This year, however, the riders’ best earlier results have been used to calculate the final ranking.

 

Following the HKEF Eventing Horse of the Year 2020 Warm Up Show on 1st February, nine competitors had qualified for the final by competing in at least two one-day events. In fact, Daniella had competed in five one-day events, with each outing showing steady progress in the higher 90 cm class. She was even placed in her last three rides, twice with a winning score.

 

Daniella’s best score of 26.6 riding Hope was followed by Velvet Lung (Nord Anglia International School) riding Rock Emperor (29.6) in second place and Julie Bardin (King George V School) on Stunning Madam (38.5) third. Although competitors could ride in either the 80 or 90 cm class, all three riders chose the higher option.    

 

As this year’s champion, Daniella receives HKEF funding worth HK$10,000 towards an approved programme of training of her choice. 

 

The HKEF would like to congratulate Daniella and also recognise the effort and progress made by all participating riders. Our thanks also goes to all parents, instructors and supporters who have helped them along the way. We look forward to seeing many of you again in the new season!

 

With our very best regards,

 

Hong Kong Equestrian Federation 

 

Congratulations Daniella Lin (RCHK) – winner of the HKEF Senior Inter-school Eventing Challenge 2020!
