Scarlet Ribbons wins

FRANCOISE BABINGTON and her own amateur lightweight victor Scarlet Ribbons (J-Lo) ended their campaign in style as they claimed the Alan Marnie Meta Lounge Ltd supreme amateur hunter championship.

J-Lo - who is by Wish Upon A Star - has had a packed schedule this week.

image“It’s been a really long week,” said Francoise. “We were sixth in the open lightweights, third in the ladies’ sidesaddle, and then we jumped the worker course at 7.30 this morning.

“We call her J-Lo because she's sassy, but she just loves showing off. To have her and be able to take this win, doing her from home is so special.”

The home-produced amateur hunter tricolour went to small hunter Constantine, 12, owned and ridden by Pretoria Lee.
