Bedfordshire’s Abbi Jackson wins the Horseware Bronze League Championship

The Horseware Bronze League Championship, held during day one of Horse of the Year Show at Birmingham's Genting Arena, went to Bedfordshire's Abbi Jackson in emphatic fashion.

 

Drawn first to go from 13 starters, she delivered a stylish first round performance on Christopher Robin IV, then clocked 31.62 seconds in their jump-off to win by almost four seconds.

 

Angela Mills and Quids In were best of the rest, taking the runners-up spot, with Southerly Roberts and Tinx finishing third.

 

Abbi said: "I didn't even think I would get through to the jump-off, let alone win the whole competition. I can't speak, really. I am on cloud nine. The horse is a bit of a nutcase. He runs off my adrenalin, and he doesn't really jump over a metre, so to come here and jump in such a big class is fantastic. It is an amazing feeling. I am ecstatic."
