They got 8 National Titles at Addington
Mayfield’s Equestrian Team achieved a historic milestone, winning a record-breaking eight national titles at the NSEA National Schools Championships over the half-term break at Addington.
With five team titles across Show Jumping, Dressage, and Combined Training – and three individual titles – Mayfield set a new benchmark for school championships.
Jill Barker, Mayfield’s Director of Riding, praised the team’s effort, saying: “I am immensely proud of our riders, coaches, supporting staff and parents. It takes a huge team effort to win any championship title, and Mayfield’s ethos of ‘work hard, play hard’ truly shone through this week.”
Emily Baldwin, team coach, attributed their success to team camaraderie, adding: “Mayfield’s equestrian squad excelled because of their fantastic team spirit. The girls supported each other through all the highs and lows of competing. They lifted each other, which gave them huge self-belief, both individually and as a team.”
Riding captain Flo, who won three team titles and two individual honours, reflected on her journey: “Having competed at the National Championships since Year 8, I was determined to finish on a high in my final year. I’m so proud of this team – at Mayfield, we support each other and work together as one, no matter the year group. It was an amazing weekend!”
Year 10 rider Issie shared her excitement, saying: “I felt my confidence grow with each ride and was thrilled to win an individual championship alongside three team titles. I can’t wait to return next year!”
