Cheshire Rider’s success

Cheshire rider Harry Ingram and his horse Chayze, scooped a coveted prize at the King’s Forest, Suffolk Endurance Internationals earlier this month.

Harry won the challenging 120km distance class CEI2* riding Warrens Hill Chayze, an Anglo Arab gelding, with an average speed of 18km/h and time of 6hrs, 39mins, 24 seconds.

Harry said, “This was a tough ride against international competitors. Chayze covered the ground well, bowling along at canter with his ears pricked and focused. It was a very warm day but we kept a constant pace and we had done enough training to prepare for the event. The vets were pleased with how my horse coped and were happy to pass him ‘fit’ at the end of the ride.”

“Aged 7, this is the first competitive season for Chayze, and I was very pleased with how he coped and recovered following the ride.”

Harry, aged 23 from Goostrey, has been competing in the sport of Endurance riding since he was a teenager and successfully competed in the Young Riders category.
