Date published: 11 October 2018


A budding young horserider from Norden has qualified for a Champion of Champions event in Liverpool.

Eva Garner, 10, and her mount, Lilly, a five-year-old Welsh Mountain Pony Section A cross appaloosa qualified for Stars Champion of Champions through her riding club, Rossendale Riding Club.

Eva, a pupil at Healey Primary School, and Lilly gained the most points for lead rein showing, securing the spot in the contest.

The Stars event aims to recreate an experience like the Horse of the Year Show (HOYS) for all riding or pony club competitors, marked by HOYS top judges.

Stars Champion of Champions takes place at Aintree Equestrian Centre on 20 and 21 October 2018.
