BSPS Area 1A, Richmond EC,
North Yorks
BRITISH SHOW PONY SOCIETY (BSPS) Area 1A held the first post-COVID-19 affiliated show. Area chairman Joanne Pybus was impressed by the “exceptional” ponies presented for judging.
“There was a huge amount of planning and extra admin to do so we could adhere to Government and governing body guidelines,” said Joanne. “Each class had a start time with timed working in, and there was a happy atmosphere.”
Team Jinks cleaned up with their lorry load. Joanne’s daughter Ella Pybus rode the 15hh Just Murphy II to win the open show hunter pony title. The seven-year-old gelding by Stanhopes Odwig was Horse of the Year Show (HOYS) finalist last year. Ella also used her experience to steer the five-year-old mare Secret Affair to win the novice equivalent.
“David Jinks bought her out of the field as a three-year-old,” explained co-producer Adam Forster. “We broke her in after HOYS and then Joanne and Ella were looking for a new novice; they came to see her and bought her then and there. She will be campaigned as a novice before running into open ranks in 2021.”
