Canadian Lindsay Pearce qualified her mare Saniki at the Saumur CCI*** in France this weekend. The pair were clear on cross-country adding only 14.40 time penalties to their score - the 11th best ride of the day of the 52 participants and the only clear round of the 5 North American pairs competing. Adding only 4 penalties in show jumping, the pair finished the event in 18th place. Pearce finished on her second ride, Candar van het Neerveld in 35th position.

Following the recent loss of the Novice Regional Finals at Keysoe (1) this class has been rescheduled to take place at Milton Keynes (2) on Saturday 23rd June 2012. Due to the Gatcombe Festival of British Eventing taking place so soon after Milton Keynes, those that qualify for the Novice Championships will need to enter immediately after Milton Keynes.
