Elloise Smit wins the Pony Restricted rider 1.10m Championship Final
Thursday 11 August 2016
Out of the six riders through to the jump off in this strong class, 13 year old Elloise Smit was one of two riders to jump clear riding her 14 year old Irish Sport Horse gelding, Newtown Samson, making their trip to the show from Maidstone in Kent well worth the journey. Newton Samson, known at home as Sam, is a very experienced pony who Elloise has been riding for eight months and they have already qualified for six championships this year. She said: “It’s such an amazing feeling to have won, I’m so excited! This time last year we were only doing 70cm”
Runners up in the class were Serena Kullich riding Kilcurry Dawn and Sophie Lewns riding Rutland Red Alert, second and third respectively.
