A PUPIL of St Brigid’s School was recently part of a Wales’ team which competed at the Royal Windsor Horse Show. Rose Jones, a pupil of the Denbigh-based school, was chosen as a Reserve Rider for the Welsh mounted games team at the competition held between July 1 and 4. Rose, who is also a member of Flint and Denbigh Pony Club, was joined by her trusted Pony sidekick Jay for the competition. Competing against England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and a mixed nations team, the Welsh team rode brilliantly over the four days and won in an explosive hard fought final in front of Her Majesty, The Queen.
HORSE-MAD pupils can now bring their ponies with them to a top Denbighshire private school after its equestrian centre re-opened this month. The right royal £30,000 renovation comes 15 years after Olympic eventing gold medallist Princess Anne opened the facilities at what is now Myddelton College in Denbigh. It is the latest addition to the amenities at the fast-growing co-educational school, one of the newest in the UK, which took over the premises of the former Howell’s School in 2016. The school’s 37 acres of grounds already have extensive sporting facilities including tennis and squash courts, a gym and climbing wall as well as cricket, football and rugby pitches which are also used by local clubs.
