HOYS Qualification for Cambridgeshire's Luke Humphrey!

Congratualtions to Cambridgeshire's Luke Humphrey (pictured) who was placed second and qualified for HOYS at the Southern Bronze League Semi Final (9 August at Keysoe).

Luke's Mum Caroline said ' we have had Soraja for 3 1/2  years. She was sold as a brood mare to a dealer because she had an accident jumping open water. She's just 16hh by Gran Corrado out of a Peter Pan mare. Caroline and Trevor Breen had her and bred a filly by Kannan from her who is 5yrs now. Soraja has grand children now (one by Clinton) who will hopefully make it to international competition.

Soraja was a grade C when we had her. She has gradually regained her confidence jumping over the years and has taught Luke alot. Luke upgraded her to grade A earlier this year and she has won almost £7000. Soraja is 15 years old now and we did not want to stop her jumping to breed from her so this year we did an embryo transfer from her and Kannan and the recipient mare is now in foal for her due in March 2015. Soraja missed 6 weeks of the qualifying period for points gathering this year due to that but she still got enough points to get into the top 5 in the league. I hope she will enjoy the big atmosphere at HOYS and hope she goes as well there as she has all year. She is very precious to us and we are looking forwards to her baby being born next year with great excitement and hopefully will try another embryo transfer next year as well. 

Luke is 26 now and only took up riding again 4 years ago after his pony days. He has not been to HOYS before and is looking forwards to it.'

We wish Luke all the best of luck on his debut at HOYS.  We will also be featuring some of the other riders from the East Region on the Regional webpages in the lead up to HOYS.
