Practice makes perfect they say, so the Beaufort Inter Hunt Relay Teams of both cubs and seniors have been working hard at their skills all spring ready for the summer shows and it seems the practice might be paying-off.

The Beaufort Cubs came fourth round a big course at the Royal Artillery Hunt Relay and were able to show the Kings Troop how it’s done - a good first outing for Rosie Bush, Anna Dando, Belle Edwards and Charles Hall.

The junior and senior team travelled to the North Somerset Show to compete in the main area with a huge atmosphere. Both teams won their first rounds, they then went into the semi-finals where the Beaufort Cubs were drawn to compete against the Beaufort Seniors - the cubs managed to pip the senior team to the post with another win and a place in the final.

The result was a second-place for the Beaufort Cubs team, with Rosie Bush, Anna Dando, Belle Edwards and Willa Gravell and a fourth-place for the seniors, with James Hopkins, Sara Cloke, Sarah Kellard-Smith and Steph Hunter.
