The Walker family’s Royal Windsor record was further added to when the youngest member of the team clinched the Hastens Royal Windsor show pony championship.

Six show pony contenders came forward into the Castle Arena championship, but it was the smallest duo, Izzy Walker and 128cm Stoneleigh Showtime (Charlie), who captured the judges’ hearts en route to the title.
