“I’m also riding Thistledown
El Toro this season, but he’s more
novicey than Snowy,” said Talia,
who was also the easy winner of
the Heritage junior title. “He gave
me a lovely ride today. He’s been
knocking on the door in HOYS
[Horse of the Year Show] classes.”
Home-producers Sophie
and Emma James continued
their Hickstead form when
their 12-year-old dun Glenmore
Gwennic, fresh from his supreme
victory at the breed show, topped
the open Connemara and New
Forest section with Emma. The
sisters were delighted when their
other Connemara Glencarrig
Rocco was pulled in second, with
stand-in jockey Leon King.
“Glen was the only one of team
who hadn’t won here,” said Emma.
“He’s had a number of seconds,
thirds and top pulls, but he’d
never had a blue sash of his own.
“It can be really diffi cult when
you’re home-produced to let
anyone ride your pony, but Leon

didn’t push him.”

Another relatively novice

pony led the small breeds fi eld.

This was Felicity Thompson’s

already HOYS-bound fi ve-

year-old Dartmoor Salcombe

Frowder Cove with producer Katy

Marriott-Payne. The home-bred

“Katy came to see him at ours

and said she wanted him when he

grew up,” said Felicity.

SUPER-TYPEY WELSH

THE Cuddington Stud mini

championship went to the

fi ve-year-old Welsh section A

Manorlea Maverick with Jessica

McIntosh. Handled by producer

Kevin Cousins, the typey grey

stood over fi rst-ridden winners

Kate Kerr and Blisland Echo.

In the worker ring, the Welsh

section D Penstrumbly Calon

Lan, a nine-year-old owned by

Jane Hanger and ridden by Ellie

Callwood, was crowed NAF/

National Pony Society champion

over Cheryl Mackintosh’s

Connemara Woodbank Smokey

Sam and Kirsty Aird.

Despite being in his fi rst

jumping season, Penstrumbly

Calon Lan produced one of only

two clears in his class en route to

the overall title.
