Following a recent trip to the Dorset Showground, the equestrian team from Hugh Sexey Middle School in Blackford have been successful in securing a place in the national championships.

The five young equestrians, known as the Mustangs, competed in a range of disciplines both as a team and as individuals.

Their success in Dorset will see them competing nationally, but with a number of competitions still to go they have an opportunity to improve their ranking even further.
