LAURA RENWICK FLIES THE HOME FLAG

Laura Renwick thrilled a packed hall at Olympia, The London International Horse Show, when scoring the first senior British win of the week.

Riding her brilliant chestnut, David Perry’s Oz de Breve, Laura won the Earls Court Olympia Christmas Cracker by just 0.23sec from the flying Swede Peder Fredericson on yesterday’s speed class winner H & M Sibon. 

Laura was drawn at exactly halfway down the 32-strong class and put up an immaculate round, meeting the final line of fences to perfection.

“Oz is small and agile but he also has a big stride and covers the ground well, which is why he won,” explained Laura, who will ride the French-bred 11-year-old in tomorrow’s Longines FEI World Cup qualifier. “I’ve had a few ups and downs this year and so to win here at Olympia has put me on a real high.

“I didn’t go into the arena thinking I’d win, but we met every fence on the right stride and I found myself where I wanted to be all the way round. It was very smooth.”
