Known to me simply as 'Peony'! Sent to our yard in Cheshire by owner and breeder Julie Rucklidge. Who I will always be thankful to for giving me the opportunity to ride such a special pony like Peony!
Peony and I had a wonderful season together, but the BSPS Summer Championships is a particularly special and exciting show for me, that atmosphere you can't beat it, simply the best!
Peony and I won the 14.2 SP section of the Blue Riband and Julie making sure both Peony and I were at '12 o' clock' went through to the Championships on Saturday evening.
The pressure was on! Peony and I were second to last to go and as always Peony rose to the occasion and we did it – Blue Riband Show Pony Champion and Peony loved every minute!
Thank you so much to Sharrocks Agricultural for their generous sponsorship. Thank you to all our team who work hard in the background, Denise, Nicola, Sam and Michelle, while I'm in the limelight!
Above all to Julie Templeton my mentor, for keeping my feet firmly on the ground and constantly reminding me you're only as good as your last result! And finally to you – Thank you Peony.
