A YOUNG rider has been crowned individual senior winner at the Hurstpierpoint College National Schools and Pony Club Jumping Championships.
Salisbury's Jemima Stratton was crowned champion in the Senior Schools division riding her own Jefke – who is known in the stable as Rambo.
“He acts like his namesake,” said Jemima, who turned 14 last week.
“We event and compete in Pony Trials, and are aiming for the Europeans.
“He definitely finds the showjumping phase the easiest.”
Jemima and Jefke provided two foot perfect rounds to keep all the poles up in a competitive class, posting a time of 39.14 to beat her closest rival by a tenth of a second in her first meeting at the college.
