Emily King: delve into the archives of the new Bramham under-25 champion


  • Emily King trounced the opposition in the British Horse Feeds under-25 CCI3* at the Equi-Trek Bramham Horse Trials yesterday (Sunday, 10 June) riding Jane Del Missier’s Dargun,  to finish top of the leaderboard on her dressage of 25.5.

    The daughter of Mary is still only 22-years-old, but she has clocked up several international placings. To celebrate the new national under-25 champion, we delve into the photo archives to reflect on what has already been a great career for Emily…
