Lisa van Someren and Tiara Barrett claimed the Pas de Deux on horse section at the titles on the weekend, backing up their 2014 triumph.
Barrett won the individual preliminary section and van Someren was second in the pre-novice category.
The duo was among a strong south-west contingent to contest the competition. Van Someren also scored a fourth-place finish with Jade King in the Pas de Deux on barrel division one section, while Barrett and Ella Cameron combined to finish fourth in the lower category.
Sky Treble, Jasmin Trewick, Montaya Young, Zoe Addinsall and Dominic Glossop, who placed second in the athlete with a disability section, also represented Van Someren Equestrian Vaulting.
Harrington Hearts, a 16.2-hand clydesdale cross, was the best performed newcomer horse of the event.
“We can’t believe Harrington Hearts did so well,” team manager Sharyn van Someren said.
“This was only his second ever competition, the first only being a couple of weeks ago at the Orford arena.
“We had a number of very positive comments about the horse right from the first day of competition – he really stood out.”
