The event is held annually in Buckinghamshire where a number of outstanding individual rides saw Scarborough College finish a remarkable fourth overall in the 85cm class with every rider scoring magnificent clear rounds.

The College was especially pleased that Year 10 pupil Hannah Marley was crowned the 2017 Individual Eventing Champion thanks to her superlative league performances over the course of the year.
