Gold Medal Celebrations

This summer Victoria Leavesley (M) has been celebrating with her team mates after having beaten off stiff competition to win the Team Gold at the 2010 International Working Hunter Pony Competition in Ireland.

Victoria with her pony Carnsdale Mighty Mouse and team mates Eleri Guy, Lucinda Parks and Alice McCullough were representing England as they competed against teams from Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.  The three phase event, which comprises Dressage, Working Hunter and Show Jumping took part over two days at the Cavan Equestrian Centre, Latt.

Victoria said of the achievement: "We are all absolutely over the moon.  It was a huge honour to be picked to ride for the England team and then to win the competition was just brilliant."
