With seconds to spare, Allana Clutterbuck jumped to victory in the British Horse Feeds Speedi-Beet HOYS Grade C Qualifier held at the Royal Norfolk Show on Wednesday.
Each of the forty-eight starters were competing for one of the three qualification spots on offer for the British Horse Feeds Speedi-Beet HOYS Grade C Championship Final at Horse of the Year Show. Following a testing first round just seven combinations were left to go head to head over the newly shortened jump off course.
Seventeen year-old Allana Clutterbuck from Upminster, Essex proved to be unbeatable on board Sally Lane’s 9 year-old bay gelding, Vykinbay. With her eye on the all-important clock, Allana picked up the pace to cross the finish line with a double clear in 45.84 seconds for first place.
