Bowing out as top boy
Horse & Hound
|October 10, 2019
A 15-year-old working stallion lands the supreme coloured award on his 10th and final HOYS appearance
-
MICHELLE CUERDEN’S prolific stallion Del Boy V bowed out of mainstream showing in style by topping his native, cob and traditional pony final before taking the supreme coloured championship for rider and producer Vikki Smith.
After an illustrious showing career that includes 10 appearances at Horse of the Year Show (HOYS), Del Boy finished on a high. As his championship sash was being presented, his retirement from coloured showing was announced.
‘This is the best he’s ever gone, and he’s ticked offa huge box’ VIKKI SMITH ON DEL BOY V
The charismatic piebald pony now goes back home to Michelle, who will compete him in veteran classes.
