A convoy of 12 horses, seven riders, and a dedicated support team travelled to the prestigious event, now in its 24th year and hosted at Princethorpe for the past decade. Although the team had also qualified for the NSEA finals at Hickstead, they chose to compete in the ISA event this year-and it certainly paid off.

Shebbear entered three teams into the 70cm (aimed at those beginning their eventing journey), 90cm and 100cm sections (for experienced riders), competing against some of the best equestrian squads from independent schools across the UK.
