Alltech Showing Classes Hotly Contested at Hickstead
In the heat of the June sunshine some of the country’s best show riders and producers hotly contested the showing classes at The Al Shira'aa Hickstead Derby Meeting.
For the fourth consecutive year, Alltech has supported a range of showing classes, with a number of Horse of the Year Show qualifying tickets up for grabs.
In the Alltech Small Riding Horse, Jayne Ross and Casino III, claimed the title for the third successive year, with Oliver Hood riding Diamonds are Forever to victory in the Alltech Large Riding Horse securing the Alltech Supreme Riding Horse Championship, just as his Dad, Allister did in 2018.
Jayne was also on winning form in both the Alltech Small Hack and the Alltech Lightweight Hunter, winning with Moluccas High Thyme and Temple Ogue. Her ride from 2017, Bloomfield Valhalla defended his title in the Alltech Middleweight Hunter.
Henrietta Spencer riding Lord John retained the Alltech Heavyweight Hunter, for the third year running, before going one better than 2017 by taking the The Alltech Supreme Hunter Championship.
A highlight of the meeting was Jo Bates winning the Alltech Large Hack and then going on to take the Alltech Supreme Hack Championship riding Suzannah Welby’s prolific champion, Elusive.
The prize was presented to Jo in the International Arena by Alison Thompson who had won the honour in a joint competition between Alltech and World Horse Welfare.
