Spectators enjoyed a day of outstanding Showing classes on the final day of the Show, held in both the International Arena and the New Horizon Plastics London Arena. The distinguished BSPS Ridden Mountain and Moorland Championship, sponsored by New Horizon Plastics, took centre stage in the International Arena, while the New Horizon Plastics London Arena hosted the Heritage Working Sports Pony Championship and the Worker Stakes Championship.
The British Show Pony Society (BSPS), the premier Showing society in the United Kingdom, organises regional shows, training days, points parties, and social events. In today’s BSPS Ridden Mountain and Moorland Championship, riders showcased their ponies’ natural beauty, with exceptional conformation and movement displayed throughout the class.
Meanwhile, in the New Horizon Plastics London Arena, Florence Milczarek and her seven-year-old Welsh Section A palomino pony, Cosford Wishes Vow (also known as Blossom), claimed the Heritage Working Sports Pony Championship title. Medi Rowles Lloyd and Heniarth Willy-Wagtail were named Reserve Champions. This Championship provided a platform for the four qualifiers to demonstrate their ponies’ graceful movement, culminating in a surprise appearance by Father Christmas, who presented rosettes to the competitors. Reflecting on her victory, Milczarek said, “I am so excited and pleased. When they called my number – 222 – as Champion, I felt so happy.”
The day concluded with the Worker Stakes Championship, the final event of the London International Showing Series for 2024. Lilly Richardson and Marsh Walk On By triumphed as Champions, while Oscar Elcock and Brynithon Poachers Gold were Reserves. Both riders delivered excellent performances, earning great applause from the audience and providing a fitting conclusion to the second year of the London International Showing Series.
