Kingswood EC Area Festival, Staffs
LILY CROMPTON, 13, claimed two titles with her young pony Four Ashes Wembley, heading the prelim silver and novice bronze.
The Crompton family bought “Woody”, by renowned German Riding Pony Caesar 171, as a two-year-old and Lily has since produced him.
“He’s very cheeky, but he has become a lot better in the warm-up,” said Lily’s mother Lisa of the five-year-old gelding. “He’s now producing some very nice work in the test, and his behaviour at Kingswood was impeccable.
“Woody jumps, as well, but we’ve been focusing on the dressage and training with Jackson Black all winter,” added Lisa. “He’s doing really well.”
Georgie Courage fulfilled a personal goal, standing 3% clear of the field to take the prelim bronze title with Hillgarth High Kingdom.…
