New twist to AGA Ladies Open Point-to-Point Championship - who's jumped the most fences?

In our attempt to raise the sponsorship bar even further we have been busy brainstorming some new ideas at AGA HQ, and over the next couple of weeks we will be adding a new twist to the AGA Ladies Open Championship by announcing some exciting new initiatives. 
Exciting times ahead

The first of these new initiatives involves the total number of fences jumped in AGA sponsored races, and we will be offering a prize to the lady who jumps the most fences this season. In fact there will be 2 prizes! A prize for most fences jumped in AGA Ladies Open races, plus a prize for most fences jumped in AGA Total Control Lady Riders' Championship races (these races are not sponsored by AGA but points are earned for the championship).
This is what it could look like
There will be some rules - you've got to have rules, and it will also give me the opportunity to compile a table - everyone loves a table ... don't they? And just to give you a flavour of what we're aiming for I've already compiled one - the table above is the top 12 to date for fences jumped in completed AGA Sponsored Ladies Open races. 
 
**during the next week the format will be refined (we may combine all races) and then the rules will be issued, plus details of the prizes will also be revealed **a special thank you to Jeremy Grayson from the Racing Post Weekender who provided the totals for the number of fences jumped at each course
