Young rider, Amy Milburn, was over

Magazine to win £1,000 worth of prizes from equestrian clothing company Tottie.
Amy (12), is based at Broughton

The £1,000 prize included
£500 cash to go towards training and competing, a selection of clothing
from Tottie and Masta rugs
for her ponies.

“William and I love to go to the Middleton Pony Club and our local Riding
Club to compete in the show jumping and cross country classes.
“I really like working
hunter pony competitions and would like to improve in those sort of classes.
“I have been riding William
now for two years and he is now nine-years-old. At this time of year I only get
chance to ride at the weekend as it’s so dark when I get back from
school.
“The sponsorship money will
go towards the costs of competing and travelling to shows.
“I love all my Tottie wear, my favourite being my cosy gilet,
and William loves his new Masta rug –
they’re all great!”
