Old Berkeley Hunt North's senior Prince Philip Cup team have qualified for the Horse of the Year show - the first time in the branch's 40 year history.

The side, which is now ranked sixth in the country, will be competing at the Horse of the Year Show which takes place from October 3 until the October 7.
Old Berkeley’s junior team of Holly Vincett, from Chorleywood, April and Jaimsye Bailey and brothers Ben and Josh Barton also rode brilliantly to come third coming third and qualify for the prestigious Pony Club Championships in August.
