Paige, Equestrian Star!
Paige F has been practicing and competing in equestrian competitions for awhile. But this season, Paige and her pony, Merivale Park Serenade Rose (love the name!) qualified for the '2016 Horses of the Year Show' in March.
The annual Horse of the Year show is New Zealand's premier equestrian competition, featuring a range of horse and rider combinations from multiple disciplines. With over 1800 riders and 2500 horses competing for lucrative titles and prize money the show is a feature on most equestrian calendar.
Paige, her pony and her family traveled up to Hastings. Quite a long trip with a horse!
Paige competed in the Lead rein Paced and Mannered Pony of the Year Class, a strong class of big ponies and riders, where Paige came 3rd!!
Paige then competed in the Lead Rein Pony of the Year Title where she was placed 5th!!
Amazing results, showing how much work Paige and her pony have done.
