Charlotte was delighted with Mount St John Freestyle,
‘This is only her second Inter I so really happy with her, she got a score of 78%’
‘For me she’s a really exciting horse and I hope to have her at Grand Prix next year and hopefully will be my next future star.’
The third win of the day came in the Intermediate II with promising Hawtins Delicato, clinching victory with 73.64
‘This was Hawtins Delicato’s first Inter II he’s done, and he hasn’t competed since September at the Nationals, so to come here and cope with everything I was really happy with him.’
‘I’ve only ever competed him at Prix St George level so he’s actually skipped a level and gone straight in at Inter II – so to achieve what he has today having not been out for a while was really good.’
A delighted Jonny Clarke-West and Zick Zack Toftegaard took the honours in the Equine 74 Prix St George.

While Australian Jayden Brown claimed a win in both British Young Horse Classes, the 5 year old on board Mount St John Fascinate and the 6 year old with Mount St John Top Secret.
Jayden recently relocated from Brisbane, Australia to be based at the Mount St John stud and has only had around three rides on both horses – and is currently undergoing an express course on English weather!
