Katherine said:
“I have owned Paprika now seven since he was four, he is a great character and is always so enthusiastic which the judges seem to like.
“This is his first season in open classes and he qualified for the Royal International Horse Show and has just missed out on his HOYS ticket so far.”
Based in Lancashire, Katherine runs a busy riding school and livery yard, enjoying the competing as her hobby. She added:
“The NPS Summer Championships is a great show and I couldn’t have been more pleased with our results throughout the event, he was fantastic.”
