Aberdeenshire’s Nicole Lockhead Anderson bags Equithème HOYS leading pony showjumper of the year qualifier win at Weston Lawns EC

Sixteen-year-old Nicole Lockhead Anderson made the long trip from Banchory, Aberdeenshire worthwhile when she bagged the win in the first of this year’s Equithème Leading Pony Showjumper of the Year Qualifiers at the Weston Lawns Equitation Centre Pony Premier in Warwickshire.

Against 32 other starters, Nicole took the win and one of the three qualification tickets on offer for the championship final at Horse of the Year Show.

In the four-horse jump off, Nicole came out on top with Gangnam Style II, a nine-year-old bay gelding owned by Claire Lockhead. This pair shook off their competition to leave all the fences standing whilst leaving themselves with nearly five seconds in hand after delivering their double clear in 40.50 seconds.

The riders and ponies that finished in first to fourth took home the chance to compete in the Equithème National 148cm Championship at the British Showjumping National Championships.
