A three-year-old colt provided his owner and handler with a second Horse of the Year Show (HOYS) win of her career as he flicked his toes to the head of the 2024 HOYS miniature horse of the year championship.

Charlotte Leonard led out her own Scotts Olympic Dream to lead a strong field of the best miniature horses in the country. Dream was bred by Carol Lindsey by Scott Creek Monarch Sumkinda. Charlotte has bought several horses from Carol over the years.
