Supreme Team Triumphant at North of England Spring Show

THE SUPREME PRODUCTS™ show team were in all-conquering form at the North of England Spring Show, Osbaldeston.

The show started with a host of wins and championships for Robert Walker who was unstoppable on his team of established and up and coming horses.

The charismatic bay gelding Ballard Bouncer, owned by Jill Day, started the proceedings well by winning the Novice Lightweight Hunter, before going on to take the Novice Hunter Championship.

His winning ways didn’t stop there as Robert then went on to head the Open Lightweight Hunter class with the same horse, who eventually took the Open Hunter Championship with Robert’s wife, Sarah, on board.

Robert chose to ride his Open Heavyweight winner Manton in the championship and took the reserve spot behind Sarah.

In the Riding Horse classes the following day Robert took the honours in the Novice Riding Horse Class with Holtess D-Day before the Large Riding Horse, Tranquil Heights, won his class and then went on to take the Riding Horse Championship.

The Small Hack, Southills Hocus Pocus took the Reserve Championship for owner Lucy Smith-Crallan while the Maxi Cob, Super Sonic also took home a Reserve Championship award. The Stanley Grange Show Team were also in top form with Danielle Purves and Holtess Wise & Wonderful winning the Novice Hack class and taking Reserve Novice Champion.

In the pony classes Julie Bankier and Little Brown Sugar ran out the winners in 128cm Show Pony section. Poppy Carter from the Katy Carter Show Team continued with the Supreme Team’s winning ways. Poppy and the 12hh Show Hunter Pony, Woodend Matilda, first took the honours in their section before going on to become Champion Open Show Hunter Pony.

To add to their collection of ribbons, Poppy also headed the Heritage Mountain & Moorland First Ridden, with the four-year-old palomino, Shamrock Lake Shirley Temple, a win which took them through to the Mini Mountain & Moorland Championship which they duly won to round off a very successful day.

Ponies from Staffordshire-based Gill Thompson’s yard were also in great form. Mrs Hinchcliffe’s Roseberry Highland Fling and Charlotte Thompson won the Small Intermediate Show Riding Type before going on to finish Reserve Intermediate Champion.

While in the Show Hunter Pony section it was another triumph with young Daisy Cambray and Parkhill Renaldo capturing the exceeding 133cms not exceeding 148cms section. For Emmersons Show Team, North of England Spring Show continued their great start to the season.
