THE 9TH/12TH ROYAL LANCERS REGIMENTAL JOURNAL 1986 Show Jumping and Hunter Trial Season 1986 was another successful year with even better results than 1985. The first main event was the Verden Garrison Summer show in early May. This was the first appearance for LCpl Williams on HM Queen Mother‘s Barometer and they did extremely well to take 4th place in the Soldiers Jumping. Cpl Beadle had spent a year resting his horse “Marcos Delos” after a nasty injury, so he was particularly pleased when winning the soldiers class first time out. The stable team dominated the Maiden stakes. Cpl Beadle was 2nd, LCpl Williams 3rd. and Mrs Gent 5th on Amigo. Cpl Herbert of the band also had a successful outing taking lst place in the 6 Bar lumping and being placed 3rd in the Beginners class. After such a flying start the Rhine Army Spring Horse Trials proved a little disappointing; the only success being a Bid by Barometer in the Novice class ridden by LCpl Williams. Mrs Gent had a very successful time at the Rhine Army Summer Show taking 3rd in the Novice Championship and being 4th in the BAOR Open Champion- ship. against stiff opposition. Cpl Beadle was 3rd in the consolation stakes, he also found time to win the Farrier Competition as the best Army Farrier. After a brief summer rest the team concentrated on the Autumn Hunter Trials hoping to improve on Cpl Beadle on his way to winning the 1935 Open Championship 50 |
