LANCASHIRE-BASED mortgage advisor Amy Riley hit the jackpot at her first attempt when landing the £1,000 Colosso Family amateur supreme show horse title ahead of a super-strong field of 18.
Her partner, the 18hh coloured gelding Optimus Prime (Binky), caught the eye from the off, striding into the ring with a purpose which he maintained throughout. Despite the high standards across the class, judges Cathy Church and Antony Gribbin were unanimous in their choice of winner.
“This horse walked out beautifully, did a lovely, precise show and had super, clean limbs,” said Cathy.
As this was Amy’s supreme debut, she had little idea what to expect.
