HOYS crowns champion horse and pony

Broadgrove Chatterbox was crowned the HOYS Supreme Pony of the Year in a fairytale result for all her connections during the final gala night performance at the Birmingham NEC.

This 138cm show pony, who won the Cuddy in-hand supreme title in 2003, has never been beaten in her class under saddle and retained her sparkle and manners to take the ultimate 2005 HOYS showing title under Jemima Walker.
