During the annual show jumping competitions (riding with obstacles), the riders of Feldman Ecopark demonstrated good form, real sport spirit and determined will for victory.
“Despite the rainy weather, the atmosphere was competitive. Both routes were training with not many obstacles and moderate height in order the young athletes with different level of skills to be able to take part in the competitions. The age of competitors is 14-16,” the trainer of the Feldman Ecopark Horse Complex Oleksandr Mikhnov tells.
The results of competitions are as follows: on the route No. 1 with 50 cm obstacles, third place was taken by Polina Denchyk on the horse Herda, the second place and the first place was taken by Diana Khaustova on the horses Herda and Irtysh respectively. On the route No. 2 with 70 cm obstacles, the third place was taken by Polina Denchyk on the horse Herda, the second place was taken by Alevtina Oleinikova on the horse Hermeseo, and the winner was Diana Khaustova on the horse Irtysh.
“What pleased especially was a healthy competition during the event, when the riders really struggles for victory. The horse Hermeseo ridden by Alevtina Oleinikova and the winners of the competition – Diana Khaustova on the horse Irtysh – had less than a second of difference. In the future, we are planning to host competitions more frequently and gradually rise the ‘bar’ increasing by this the level of skills of our young athletes,” Oleksandr Mikhnov noted.
It should be reminded that in September, Feldman Ecopark Horse Complex already hosted a club dressage championship. Moreover, the riders of the Centre of Non-Olympic Sports of the Horse Complex are training to take part in the festival of horse trick art “Centaurs -2,” which will take place in Kyiv in the end of September.
