ST Mary’s Middle School, Puddletown, is celebrating after capturing a silver medal in a show jumping competition at Bryanston School.

The success means the team have now qualified for the National Schools Equestrian Association Nationals, which are to be held at the prestigious Addington Manor in Milton Keynes in October.

The St Mary’s line-up consisted of Megan Alcock and Rosie and Molly Russell, the three are members of the Purbeck & District Riding Club and South Dorset Pony Club. Every week the trio train at Moreton Equestrian Centre and they have all worked extremely hard to achieve this result out of 12 other schools in the South West.
