Rickmansworth-based rider Daisy Coakley secured a title at the Espayo National Dressage Championships at Stoneleigh Park.
It was the 19-year-old’s first visit to the event, which was held on Thursday of last week in Warwickshire.
Coakley rode five-year-old mare Cleopatra II to victory in the Centaur Position Perfect Preliminary Championships and they posted a final score of 72.12 per cent – well clear of the rest of the field.
Commenting on her win, Coakley said: “I am thrilled to win. Cleopatra was so relaxed considering this is her first time at such a big show.”
