HAMPSHIRE-BASED 12-YEAR-OLD IS TRIPLE HANDED AT HORSE OF THE YEAR SHOW

Tuesday 27 September 2011

Harry Charles, son of International Show Jumper and dual Olympian Peter, is already making a pretty decent fist of following in his father’s footsteps and he has qualified three ponies for this year’s Horse of the Year Show (HOYS).
The Hampshire-based 12-year-old has achieved the impressive feat of qualifying Murka's Flinor Songbird, Murka's Mathew's Girl and Headmore Little Lightning for the HOYS 128cms Championship on Saturday 8th October and he will be bidding to emulate his father’s recent record at the ‘World’s Most Famous Horse Show’. Peter finished runner-up in both the Zinc Management Trophy and the Dick Turpin Stakes at last year’s show having lifted the Philip Billington Memorial Cup in 2009.
