The team, consisted of Megan Snow (10) ,from Tockington, Katherine Lay (11), from Charfield, Ellie Coleman (13), of Woodford and Ellie Howell (11), from Cromhall.
They were awarded with championship sashes, and their rosettes were signed by Gloucestershire’s Rio 2016 Olympic Equestrian squad member Hayley Watson-Greaves.
Top placed individual team member, Megan Snow, also finished sixth in the overall rider placings.
Eileen Hilleard, the club’s District Commissioner said: “This is a marvellous result for the girls who have demonstrated some significant talent on pretty much a national stage.”
