We were delighted to hear that three of our Wow Ambassadors had ridden their way through to the BD Winter Championships. On the Saturday night Gala Evening, both Lesley Peyton-Gilbert and Daisy Coakley had been invited to ride in the Inter 1 Freestyle. Before then, Daisy contested the Petplan Inter 1 Silver, and Izzy Chaplin the Petplan Advanced Medium Silver. Between classes, we took a few moments in the spring sunshine to catch up with Izzy and Daisy, both U25 riders, and get their answers to 10 questions:
1. Your first pony?
Izzy: Kizzy was a 12.2hh Welsh pony, and delighted in playing mounted games, always flat out. She taught me how to ride, and especially how to stay on. We only ever stopped when she felt like it.
Daisy: Crackerjack, an even smaller Welsh pony, fluffy and cheeky. At the age of 31 he is still teaching children to ride – and nipping parents!

5. What is your favourite thing about him?
Izzy: He is just like an overgrown pony! I love that, and that he always tries for me. For a stallion, he is impeccably behaved in all circumstances – I ride in a quadrille with him, with mares, and he doesn’t put a foot wrong.
Daisy: He has a quirky personality, which I’ve had to get to know well to keep him onside. He is just as expressive in his body language as he is in his work, and it makes our relationship very special.
6. What does he find easiest?
