Five-year-old home-bred Welsh section A Rowfantina Orlando-Bloom made his mark on the show ring when he secured the Cuddington Stud British Show Pony Society (BSPS) Heritage M&M supreme mini championship on his first appearance at the Royal International Horse Show (RIHS).
His pilot was nine-year-old James Burchell, who, unlike his pony, is no stranger to Hickstead success; in 2017, he took the overall supreme pony championship with the show pony lead rein Seamoor Lady Derby, led by his dad, Oliver Burchell.
Oliver’s mum, Mandy Burchell-Small bred the Broekland Allesandro-sired gelding Orlando-Bloom who is out of Rowfantina Old Times and was there to watch her grandson triumph.
