A TWO-YEAR old coloured filly has qualified for the Chaps Championships after its first showing.
Mia Miss Chief, owned by Joanne Garnett of Guisborough, was shown for the first time last weekend at Kirkleatham, Redcar.
The filly, shown by Ian Hammond of Lingdale, bagged second place in the open coloured horse shown in hand and qualified for the Chaps Championships likely to be held at the Horse of the Year Show in London later this year.
Judges were said to be so impressed by the filly that hopes now run high for it to do well at the national event.
Last Sunday's success was followed later in the day when Mr Hammond rode Diadem Lady Gatehouse, also owned by Ms Garnett, to second place in the open section at a one-day event held at Houghall.
Ends.
