Jessica Noys from Oxfordshire is April’s NAF Shining Star

Jessica Noys has been awarded the NAF Shining Star for April after showing great progression on both of her ponies which led coach Sharon Quant to nominate her for the award.

Ten year-old Jessica from Abingdon, Oxfordshire has shown tremendous commitment since joining the Berkshire and Oxon Junior Academy in June last year. 

“Jessica became a member of the Berkshire and Oxon junior academy in June and in that time, she has gained so much experience and improved beyond belief. I have been so impressed with the progression of both jess and her ponies; it’s been a big step up for jess having only previously attended mini pony club rallies jumping no more than cross poles when she first joined our academy,” commented Sharon. “She is always a regular at all our training clinics and a valued member of our teams at academy shows. We are very proud of the success and progression that she has gained at Junior shows on both her ponies”.

After finding out she was the winner of April’s NAF Shining Star, Jessica said “I am really pleased to have won this award, especially as I am receiving it for doing something I love. I have learnt so much since being part of the academy. I have enjoyed being back at competitions and I think my ponies have as well!”

Lisa Field from NAF added “Jessica has been working incredibly hard and It’s great to hear of her dedication and commitment to training, which is definitely paying off with her amazing progression. We look forward to seeing what 2021 holds for her, well done Jessica, a worthy winner of this month’s Shining Star!” 

The NAF Shining Star Award was introduced when NAF became a British Showjumping Business Partner. The award is for members of a Junior Academy who have shown a great deal of commitment, progression and outstanding behaviour along with their riding ability and much more. Riders are nominated by their lead coach, and then judged and awarded by NAF to one person each month.
