Title: "Sophie and Lily: A Journey of Companionship and Competition in Equestrian Sports"

Sophie said: “I’ve owned Lily since she was a foal and we’ve done everything together. She’s seven now and we mainly compete in showing and go hunting on Exmoor together. Lily is one of four Irish Draught full siblings we have, I mainly show the younger ones In-Hand. This is the first time we’ve done Search for a Star, we mainly compete in local and county shows although we qualified for the London Horse Show last year and took 7th place! I work as a nurse and swapped shifts to come to the qualifier today.”

Sophie has had her horse, Lily, since she was a foal, and they have developed a strong bond over the years. Now seven years old, they primarily compete in showing and enjoy hunting together on Exmoor. Sophie also has three other full siblings of Lily, which she shows in-hand at local and county events.

This year marks their first participation in the Search for a Star competition, although they have previously qualified for the prestigious London Horse Show, where they achieved a commendable 7th place. Sophie’s dedication to her equestrian pursuits is evident, as she even adjusted her nursing work schedule to attend the qualifier for this event.
