Une institutrice remporte l'épreuve amateur BE90 de Badminton

Holly Jessett, une institutrice du Northamptonshire, a décroché la première place du championnat BE90 lors du Badminton Horse Trials le 6 mai. Montant son cheval de 13 ans, Lombard Lad, elle a devancé 94 autres concurrents après un parcours sans faute lors de l'épreuve de saut d'obstacles. Ce résultat marque sa première victoire dans cette catégorie après une troisième place obtenue en 2023.

Jessett partageait la tête du classement en dressage avec Lucy Jowett avant de conserver un score vierge sur les phases suivantes. Jowett a accumulé quatre points de pénalité en saut d'obstacles et a terminé neuvième. Cette victoire survient lors de la troisième participation de Jessett à la section amateur LeMieux Badminton avec le même cheval, qu'elle possède depuis qu'il a sept ans et qu'elle place en pension complète.
