Bishop’s Stortford College pupil Emelia Mitchell won the British Show Jumping National Championships 138 cm final, held at Stoneleigh during the summer. Emelia was riding her youngest pony, an Appaloosa called Shaman Sundance. Her next challenge is to try to win the Horse of the Year Show 138 cm final held at the Birmingham NEC in early October. The show, one of the largest in the UK, will be televised on Eurosport.

Emelia’s summer competition schedule took her all over the UK; a highlight being jumping for the U14 England team at an international competition held in Wales.

Emelia combines her successful show jumping career with playing county hockey as well as representing the College on a number of sports teams.
