Fifty-six starters came forward to contest the first of The Stable Company HOYS 138cms Qualifier of 2017 at the Weston Lawns Equitation Centre Pony Premier in Warwickshire. It was Shaunie Greig who went on to secure the top spot.
All riders were focused on finishing in the top three to ensure their place in The Stable Company HOYS 138cms Championship Final held at the prestigious Horse of the Year Show in October. During the first two rounds, the poles came down and competitor numbers were whittled down until just six combinations remained in contention.
Fourteen year-old Shaunie Greig from Dunfermline, Fife took first place on board Anne Greig’s 16 year-old bay mare, Drumaclan Flight. Demonstrating great consistency with turn of speed, this pair were the clear winners as they crossed through the finish line in 35.92 seconds, a whole 4.87 seconds quicker than their nearest rivals.
Emelia Mitchell, aged 13, from Saffron Walden, Essex secured second place and her ticket to the Horse of the Year show with three clear rounds on board Shaman Sundance, an 11 year-old appaloosa gelding owned by Jane Gibson. This partnership crossed the finish line in 40.79 seconds.
Taking home third place was 12 year-old Claudia Moore from Brentwood, Essex riding Katrina Moore’s 25 year-old black gelding, My Bugsy Malone. This combination finished with a treble clear in 41.09 seconds.
