We are so incredibly proud of sponsored rider and Harvey 💛
Knowing they were guaranteed the Inter I Freestyle Championship (they were only one of two combinations in the whole country to actually get the required qualifications, which goes to show just how TOUGH this level is!!) we decided he needed a very special browband for the occasion.
I didn’t tell Chantelle what I was making, we chose to keep it a surprise until the day. I decided to go timeless - this gorgeous combination tied in with her tailcoat, and obviously Harvey himself.
No one deserved this title more. Chantelle received a lot of unfriendly comments about her class size in the run up to the show and being there beside her on the day, I saw just how much these took a toll on her, which was so sad to see. But she pushed them aside and had THE BEST night on the best pony in the world and proved just why they deserved it.
For those that aren’t familiar with them, Harvey is now 20 years old. He cost Chantelle just £200 and they have competed at the Petplan Champs over the years from Prelim all the way up to Inter I. It’s clear to see, he’s not your ‘typical’ dressage horse, yet he has defied all odds and is truly a legend.
Harvey’s browband is as a combination of Crystal and Gold Quartz Preciosa crystals set in gold. Subtle but boy did it sparkle under the spotlights!
