The pony class was hard and fast

The ponies were the class entertainers, with the young riders really going for it. Rosa Buist-Brown was the first competitor, on Junior Disco who jumped a fast and clear round. Rosa led the class from start to finish with the fastest time and 2nd place went to Grace Manera with the second fastest time on her pony Rednalhgih Cowan.

Pony of the Year title-holder, Steffi Whittaker jumped a clear round but wasn't quite fast enough which put her in third place.  In a very kind gesture, Steffi came back after the prize-giving to donate her prize-money to the Breast Cancer charity that the event was supporting.
