Ponies UK News: Simon and Sarah Head for HOYS

SUPREME PRODUCTS™ sponsored show riders Simon Charlesworth and Sarah Emmerson hit top form at Ponies UK both qualifying for the Horse of the Year Show.
Simon took the honours in the large hack class, with Holtess Wise and Wonderful a five-year-old brown gelding, owned by Vicky Rudd. They went on to take the Hack Championship and the Supreme Ridden Championship of the show.

Stokesley based Sarah Emmerson and her four-year-old Chiddock Time Out were also in good form taking second place in the Small Hack and second reserve champion to also win their way through to HOYS.
Earlier in the season the pair had a win in the Part-bred Arabs class at White Rose County securing them a place at the Royal International Horse Show where they finished sixth.

As a four-year-old Chiddock Time Out has had a quiet season but is starting to show his potential when it counts, qualifying for all the top shows.

Said Sarah: “Although we have not over shown him, he is on top form and is going really well. I am very pleased with him and over the moon we have our ticket for HOYS. Thanks to the Supreme Products range we can always make sure he looks fantastic and his coat really does shine. The show ring presentation products and grooming aids really do help give a perfect finishing touch."

Simon was also in form at Ponies UK in the young stock classes taking the JB Memorial Championship with Stanley Grange Regal Heights, a three-year-old colt owned by Jenny Gilchrist, continuing their great season so far.

Interview with Hannah Roulston from Emmersons Show Team

1. How long have you been a groom?

I have groomed for three and a half years, and the last two and a half of those I have been with Emmersons Show Team.

2. What is your favourite TV programme?

Lost – I am sad that it has now finished!

3. Do you have any brothers or sisters?

One brother

4. What is your favourite food?

Any type of seafood – but especially Lobster!

5. Where is your favourite holiday destination?

Cancun in Mexico

6. Who is your favourite horse or pony on the yard and why?

I’m not supposed to have favourites! But Prince – because he is the first pony that I broke in and he has a lovely character – he is my best friend! His show name is Rosemel Dark Prince.

Mix Supreme Products Leg & Body Whitener into a paste, then paint it on to the pony’s legs the night before. Put bandages over the top, then in the morning when you remove the bandages and - hey presto! Your pony will have spotless white legs.

Emmersons Show Team on Supreme Form!

The Supreme Products sponsored Emmersons Show Team from Stokesley have been busy travelling the circuit and producing some top results.

Lead Rein pony Chaseford Aloof, owned by Johanna Prendergast and ridden by Ella Reynard won the Lead Rein and Mini Championship at Ayr County, qualifying for the Royal International Horse Show.

The 11-year-old mare also clinched her HOYS ticket at the BSPS Winter Championships when they were first in the Lead Rein.

The yard’s form continued with another Royal International Horse Show ticket in the Lead Rein Show Hunter class at BSPS Area 1B with Abbie Farmer riding the five-year-old Cham Secret Legend by the Yorkshire based Lechlade Quince.

At the White Rose County show in Leeds it was a win for Sarah Emmerson when she rode Chiddock Time Out to win the Anglo/Part-bred Arabs to also qualify for RIHS.
