Bailey Farm near Cardigan held its first ever Working Hunter Event recently and attracted a good number of entries. Junior and senior classes were held throughout the day in the indoor school with rosettes, prizes and sashes for the prize winners.

Overall champion of the day was Jason James riding his five year old 16.1hh Lodgemor Veuve Clicquot. The bay has won numerous championships and medals in hand as a foal, yearling and three year old.

“This is my first homebred out of a hunter mare who I sadly lost when Viv was a yearling by the Section D Maemynach Enchanter. I’m hoping to do some eventing and more workers in the future.”

Reserve overall champion and junior champion was Soffia Cynwyl of Ponthirwaun riding her 13hh Section B gelding, Milford Fair Honey Bear. The new partnership has qualified for the Royal International at the end of this month and have won numerous championships since the season started back in January.
