Following on from securing The Andrews Family hack of the year championship earlier on in the week, Harrison Taylor piloted Cranbornes Sirius to the Honourable Stud intermediate show horse of the year final at Horse of the Year Show (HOYS).

The Anton Scandal seven-year-old, who is bred by Mrs G J Twitchett and is out of Cranbornes Regal Star, was first spotted by Cheshire-based producer Harrison, 23, as a two-year-old and he’s brought her on gradually under saddle in recent years.
