Louise McDonald wins NAF Five Star Bronze League Qualifier win at Dorset Showground

Seventeen year-old Louise McDonald from Maidenhead, Berkshire rode three clear rounds of jumping aboard her 12 year-old chestnut gelding Fanta-Astic to take the win in the NAF Five Star Bronze League Qualifier which took place at the Dorset Showground on Saturday.

From thirty-eight initial starters, just fourteen combinations claimed a spot in the final jump-off. Keeping her eye on the prize, Louise put her foot on the accelerator to cross the finish line with a treble clear in 33.76 seconds, over four seconds ahead of her nearest rival.
