Who is your favourite? Meet the winners from London International’s new performance pony classes

    On Sunday and Monday at London International, the British Show Pony Society (BSPS) hosted its highly-anticipated showing finals for the first time. The performance-focused classes welcomed top-class competition, with amateurs and seasoned riders battling it out for the top spots.

    Classes for coloured horses and ponies, working hunter ponies, lead rein sports ponies and performance ponies were held, alongside the ever-popular BSPS mountain and moorland supreme ridden championship.
