Claudia Moore Again Dominates HOYS 128cms Qualifier at Bishop Burton Arena

Wednesday 13 July 2016

Eleven year-old Claudia Moore topped the Horse of the Year Show (HOYS) 128cm at Bishop Burton College with the consistent roan gelding, Pringle. 

It was Pringle’s second win in this series of HOYS 128cm qualifiers, and Essex rider Claudia now has two ponies through to the Championship Final at Horse of the Year Show at the NEC, Birmingham in October.  She took the top two places in Bicton Arena’s qualifier, winning on Pringle and taking second with Peppino Il Grande.

At Bishop Burton, the thirty-six initial starters were reduced to twelve for the second round and just five made it to the jump-off.  Claudia and the 16-year-old Pringle posted the winning round from the third draw, by an impressive 6.89 seconds.

Eleven year-old Rachel Proudley from Whitby, North Yorkshire took second with her opening draw effort on the 15-year-old skewbald mare Painted Lady IV. 

Tom Francis-Jones aged eleven years from Brackly Northamptonshire claimed third with the 15-year-old gelding Major Jack II with the steadiest treble clear in the penultimate round of the five-pony jump-off.

As Claudia had already qualified Pringle, the final HOYS and much coveted ticket was handed down to fourth-placed, eleven year-old Eloise Squibb with the fastest four faults in the jump-off on the nine-year-old gelding Platinum Prince owned by Sarah Squibb.  Eloise is another Essex girl with two rides in the final – she also qualified Wyndham Tom Thumb at Weston Lawns.
