A COLOURED mare wrapped up her debut season unbeaten as she clinched the overall supreme ridden accolade. Emma Holder’s classy five-year-old native Worsenden Priscilla rose to the occasion on only her third outing under saddle. Emma was first acquainted with Priscilla over the summer when she was at Ollie and Jo Burchell’s yard.
“Ollie rang me and said I needed to come and see this young mare he had in,” said Emma. “I was adamant I didn’t need another horse as I’m so busy with clients but Ollie insisted that she was something special. I fell in love with her. She was super-green but she’s such a showgirl; when she gets to a show she just rises to the occasion.”
While Emma admits natives aren’t normally her ride of choice, she is hopeful about Priscilla’s potential: “She’s so smart, so fingers crossed we can campaign the qualifiers next year.”
ATTITUDE AND LIMB
STANDING reserve ridden supreme was Rebecca Penny aboard Sandy Anderson’s Welsh section B stallion Thistledown Cadog. The five-year-old stallion, who is produced by Danielle Garner, picked up an early National Pony Society (NPS) silver medal ticket for 2021.
