Horse rider Anne Hebron, of Clayton, Bradford, has qualified to compete in an event at the Horse of The Year Show after qualifying on only her third outing on her mount, Knighthood, known as Hoody. The pairing are pictured above.

Anne, who bought the five year-old last August, gained her place at the big event after finishing second in the ‘show hunter’ class at a qualifying show at the Osbaldeston riding centre in Lancashire.

At the Horse of the Year Show she will compete in the South Essex Insurance Brokers Search For A Star Championships . Anne, who said getting to the Horse of the Year Show was a dream come true, is also hoping to compete at this year’s Great Yorkshire Show in July.
