We always love watching the fast and furious 128cm showjumping classes and London International Horse Show’s Equine Rescue Services mini stakes on Sunday afternoon lived up to all our expectations. Eleven pint-sized ponies and their talented young jockeys flew over the 1.10m fences in breathtaking style and it was 12-year-old Cate Kerr with her lovely dun pony Dunbarover IV who triumphed after a nail-biting five-way jump-off.

“This has been an amazing year,” said Cate, who also took the 128cm title with the whizzy Dunbarover during a winning spree at Horse of the Year Show in October. “It’s amazing – winning HOYS and winning London is just a dream come true.”
