The stunning gelding Briarhill Buddy Bolden became Saturday’s star of the show at the 2023 Royal International Horse Show (RIHS) as he netted two overall victories in the space of two hours.

Meg Edmondson’s Kings Cornet seven-year-old began his day by securing a pass into the Longines International Arena after being called into the top 10 of the Culford Lodge Commodities small hunter final.
