Youngsters impress at showing gala *H&H Plus*

Fell ponies

Natives get their final outings of the 2020 season in as a filly foal commences her career with a supreme and Fell ponies shine bright at the Worsley Gala at Bold Heath EC in Cheshire

A Welsh section C filly reigned supreme in the overall foal championship. Michael Cobley’s stunning home-bred Tryfel Glamour Queen oozed quality and presence to first be judge Kitty Bodily’s choice for the overall section C championship and bronze medal before being called forward to land the foal accolade.

By three-time Royal Welsh gold medal winner Caebryn Endeavour out of Monaray May Queen, Glamour Queen stood over the reserve choice, the Perrins family’s chestnut Welsh section A colt Rookery Roscoe.

“Her dam, now 22, has also won the Royal Welsh three times and was reserve overall champion in 2012,” said Michael. This was Glamour Queen’s first outing as a foal.
