Show-jumping supremo,
Ellen Whitaker (winner of this class for the last 2 years) paired up with diminuitive Holly Jones from Cotswold Vale Farmers Hunt pony club and were the class act of the competition, as it turned out! Ellen, riding CS Online and Holly, on Swansea Jack II (so named because he started life on a housing estate in Swansea) produced a breathtakingly fast round with just one fence down between them. We were also lucky enough to get a course walk with Ellen beforehand (accompanied by Wendy Blelock and her husband who had won the Horse Hero Olympia competition). Ellen and Holly talk to Horse Hero's
Fiona Price.
