Staff College Drag Hunt
Welcome to the Tumblers' Cup Page!
Making a return this Season is the Tumblers Fund, generated through a ‘fine' payable in the event of a fall (£5 for followers and subscribers, £10 for Masters, Huntsman and Committee). The proceeds of the Tumblers Fund goes to support the Air Ambulance Charities whose assistance we hope not to need.
Our ‘Tumbler Monitor’ for the 2023/24 season is Beth Cepollina - the proud winner of last Season's Tumblers Cup! Beth repeatedly ate dirt last season, but always got back on board and carried on with a smile!
Please ensure any case of a rider taking a tumble is reported to Beth, along with appropriate photographic evidence! You can email her, care of: secretary@staffcollegedraghunt.com
Tumblers' Cup 2022/2023 Season
There are always a large number of contenders for this award and we thank everyone who has drag hunted, and face-planted from their horse this season! This award can be given to someone who has fallen many times during the season, or to someone who has only fallen off once, but done it with great style.
The nominees were: Ruth Bostock, Isabel Milojevic & Beth Cepollina.
It gives the Masters great pleasure to award the 2022/2023 Tumblers' Cup to Beth Cepollina. Beth has repeatedly eaten dirt this season, but has always got back on board and carried on with a smile! Huge congratulation to Beth and thanks for always being such a good sport!
Tumblers' Cup 2021/2022 Season
There are always a large number of contenders for this award and we thank everyone who has drag hunted, and face-planted from their horse, this season!
This award can be given to someone who has fallen many times during the season, or to someone who has only fallen off once, but done it with great style.
The nominees were: Catherine Sheppard, Ashton Caddick, Sophie Gregory
It gives the Masters great pleasure to award the 2021/2022 Tumblers' Cup to Catherine Sheppard. Who can forget this epic face-plant at Heckfield where Catherine obliterated one of our mobile gate fences in the process! In this photo she can be seen chilling out at the scene of the crime, still grinning! Huge congratulation to Catherine!
Tumblers' Cup 2020/2021 Season
The nominees were: Sasha Randall, Daveyjoe Smith, Perdy Dabliz, Laura Dickson, Will Kelly, Georgie Warden, Ellie Lethaby.
The winner is the faller that showed supreme commitment to maintaining the correct riding position, even when inverted by 180 degrees. So it gives the Masters great pleasure to award the 2020/2021 Tumblers' Cup to Perdy Dabliz for her fall over the famous (infamous?) Swan's Farm hedges. As you can see from the photo, Perdy provided Ellie Osborne with the opportunity to capture the perfect riding position, albeit completely upside down. Huge congratulation to Perdy!
Tumblers' Cup 2019/2020 Season
The winner is the faller that the Masters felt provided the most stylish slither to the ground after coming unseated over the smallest of fences...which made it even funnier. So it gives us great pleasure to award the 2019/2020 Tumblers' Cup to Duncan Green for his fall at Moundsmere. As you can see from the photos, Duncan provided Ellie Osborne with the opportunity to capture the perfect sequence, and he also looked rather pleased with himself afterwards! Huge congratulation to Duncan and thanks for always being such a good sport!
