Hallie Lunn Takes Top Spot Again in the Pony Showjumper of the Year at Arena UK

Tuesday 19 July 2016

Hallie Lunn posted her second win in the Pony Showjumper of the Year series at Arena UK on the 13-year-old piebald mare Javas Alun, underscoring their talent and well-deserved place in the Pony Showjumper of the Year Championship Final held at this year’s Horse of the Year Show final in October.

Forty-four pony and rider combinations tackled the sizeable track, but only six managed to come home with first round clears to access the jump-off.

Three double clears were produced, with Hallie using her penultimate draw to take victory on Richard Lunn’s Irish-bred Javas Alun by 1.55 seconds.

Jack Whitaker eased his father Michael’s 10-year-old mare Zodianne Van De Doevenbree into second to guarantee a HOYS appearance.  

Fraser Reed has already secured a HOYS pony newcomer finalist place after winning at Bishop Burton with Aileen Reed’s 13-year-old Irish gelding Jiminy Cricket, and they were on form to take third here in the pony showjumper of the year to post a second HOYS appearance.
