Round 3 of the NPSDH went down last weekend at Ft Bill with Ben Cathro and Manon Carpenter taking the top spots. Well done to Ben but holy shit – how good is Manon Carpenter? She’s not even an elite and she beat EVERY elite female and placed 178th overall beating a lot of chaps.

Looks like young gun Harry Heath wasn’t slowed down by all the naked cocks on his recent trip to Spain and had a scorching weekend. He’s still in the junior cat and took 4th overall – he was the highest placed non-elite rider on the hill. Awesome.
