Temptation irresistible for senior supreme

A first sash for life-long competitors, a riding school pony has his moment in the spotlight, and senior showing history is made

- 

A LONG-AWAITED sash brought joy to the Inskip family as Popalbee Temptation (Jerry) was crowned supreme champion in the New Horizon Plastics Co Ltd Senior Showing and Dressage Ltd (SSADL) supreme championship.

Pip Inskip’s 15-year-old home-bred show pony, out of Sycamore Temptation, who herself won the 128cm show pony final here, is ridden by Pip’s daughter Bonnie.

In his third season with Bonnie, Jerry has also qualified for both London International (LIHS) and Horse of the Year Show (HOYS).

Outside the show ring, their partnership continues to blossom through Pony Club and dressage, where Bonnie has recently started competing at novice level and completed her first Area Festival. Jerry is equally happy jumping and enjoying life at home.

Celebrating the family’s first major win at Hickstead, Pip commented:
