OWNER/BREEDER SALLY MCMILLAN

“IT’S crazy to think that we qualified a homebred pony for Horse of the Year Show (HOYS), let alone won the final. I keep only five mares, including Heronsmill Tiger Lily (Lily), and I don’t breed from each every year, to keep numbers manageable, as I fit the ponies around work as a solicitor.
