BROMSGROVE Preparatory School pupil Henrietta Horsley-Gubbins and her pony Rhoson Loire are jumping for joy after making it through to the Horse of the Year Show at Birmingham’s NEC next week.

The 12-year-old achieved the impressive feat of being the sole qualifier out of 40 entrants from her qualification event.

Horsley-Gubbins, who is now placed in the top 20 riders in the UK, will compete in the show which runs between Tuesday October 7 and Thursday October 9.

The youngster is a member of the Worcestershire Hunt Pony Club and takes part in the eventing, show jumping and dressage teams.
