Amy and Charlie the cob’s Mitsubishi Motors Cup blog: the old boy did me proud
Amy and Charlie have completed, but did he throw in a cheeky stop at the final fence? Well...
Amy Howe is an amateur grassroots event rider who has qualified for the 2018 Mitsubishi Cup at Badminton. Amy works as a freelance groom in Surrey and she juggles her job with competing. She will be taking Unchartered Territory, otherwise known as Charlie, to Badminton. Amy has owned Charlie since 2004, when he was four, and together they have endured plenty of ups and downs. This will be Amy’s first attempt at the Mitsubishi Cup.
