Fell pony goes native supreme at Olympia

Becky Penny and her six-year-old Fell pony Townend Schubert won the BSPS Heritage Ridden Mountain & Moorland Ridden Championship sponsored by Blue Chip at The London International Horse Show at Olympia this afternoon (Monday 21 December).

Remarkable

The win was remarkable as it came just three years after Becky was told she would never ride again.

“I was determined to prove them all wrong” said Becky who said she was ‘gobsmacked’ by the win. “He’s such a young pony and he’s done very litle and compared to some of the field he’s very inexperienced.”

In reserve was Welsh section D Ringside Game Over ridden by Alexandra Williams.
