THE Wessex Point-to-Point Area’s six main awards will be presented at the end of season party on Friday, July 3.

Leading gentleman rider is Somerset-based Will Biddick, who was also crowned National Champion for the fourth time.

Leading Lady Rider is Alice Mills, who has just announced her retirement from point-to-point racing to take out a professional jump and flat licence to ride under Rules.

Harry Cobden, 16, who landed three National championships scooped the remaining two Awards. He wins the Wessex Leading Novice Rider Award and the Wessex Leading Owner Award, largely thanks to his partnership with his own prolific Cock Of The Rock, a 10yo gelding with five of his seven wins in Wessex.

Full details of the awards, plus those already presented at meetings during the season, can be found on the Wessex Area website – pointingwessex.co.uk – as can further information regarding the end of season party.
