The Cherhill Shetlands is a team of Shetland ponies and jockeys that race all over the country raising money for charity. This year’s charity is the Bob Champion Cancer Trust and all money raised will be going to cancer research.
The Shetland Pony Grand National run races at all the big shows across the UK such as Royal Windsor Horse Show, Badminton, Burghley and Blenheim as well as some flat races on race courses like Sandown and Cheltenham. The pinnacle of the year being a chance to ride at London Horse Show.
In addition, last month Emily and her pony Lucky competed at Moreton Equestrian Centre. Emily came 6th in the 70cm class, but then pulled out all the stops to take second place in the 80cm class. This fantastic result means she has qualified to go to the NSEA (National Schools Equestrian Association) National Championships at Addington which takes place later this month.
Many congratulations to both girls for these amazing achievements.
