The Price is right for Magic

NPS SUMMER CHAMPIONSHIPS 1-3 August

NPS Summer Championships, Three Counties Showground, Worcs

THE National Pony Society (NPS) championship show always witnesses one of the strongest Horse of the Year Show (HOYS) Price Family in-hand supreme championship line-ups, and this year was no exception.

Connemara Cloverhill Magic was one of the finalists to contest the supreme final after he had won his breed title earlier in the day.

Led by Jamie Frost, the Glencarrig Knight-sired stallion has been the bridesmaid this season thus far, achieving reserve places in HOYS qualifiers at both Royal Bath and West and Royal Cornwall.

“This championship win is a real accolade for him,” said owner Cathy Wood, who watched Magic finish fourth in the final at HOYS last year. “He has about 18 mares in foal for 2024 and a super crop on the ground this term. Due to a busy stud season, Magic was contesting only his fifth and final show of the year. He's been Mr Consistent.”
