Yesterday Ellie took part in the Area 14 Pony Club Dressage competition held at Southfield House near Frome, Ellie and her pony, Dominic, delivered a superb performance to win the Intermediate Dressage section with an impressive score of 76.5% out of 26 competitors. Competing in the Intermediate section due to her British Dressage Novice points, Ellie was riding against a field of experienced competitors, the majority older than herself. As the fourth combination down the centre line, Ellie and Dominic set the standard early in the competition, producing the highest score of the day. This fantastic result is a testament to Ellie's dedication, perseverance and commitment to continually improving her riding. We are delighted that she has now qualified for the Pony Club Championships at Offchurch Bury, Warwickshire in August. Photo credit: True To You Photography
