William Parkin

Name: William Parkin Age: 9 Ponies I ride: Newoak Gold Edition Stretcholt Pussykin I’ve been riding since I was 18months old, I started on a little section a pony called Annie who loved to be dirty and was a very cheeky monkey. We competed at our first show at the age of 2 and in that year we did 5 shows with 4 wins. When I was still only 1 years old my grandparents bought me a 2yr old dartmoor Poppy, Newoak Golden Edition who took me into heritage lead rein from the age of 3 and to the present day now doing first riddens together. We’ve had many wins together qualifying for RIHS 5 years on the trot in both the Pretty Polly and Open classes. Nikki my Show pony who we’ve had since she was 4 did a few seasons on the lead with wins at the BSPS championships but really was intended to be my first ridden. This being our first season together solo. In the very sort season we’ve had this year, it’s been amazing with loads of wins and champions including at the BSPS Championships in the 4 classes we did we had two wins a reserve champion and two 3rds. I love being apart of Team Holder because we have lots of fun in and out of the show ring. Everyone supports each other big or small, win or lose and we have great parties. Thank you Gayle and Emma for everything you’ve done for me and my ponies. Your the best. Love William xx
