CHRISTINA Brooks was lost for words after her victory in the Anthony Evans Senior Showing & Dressage Ltd Home Produced Supreme final 2015 held at Olympia.

Brooks, from Thame, triumphed in the in-hand section at the London International Horse Show with her 16-year-old black Fell pony stallion, Guards Jester.

The victory was all the more poignant coming two years after the horse’s successful recovery from a cancer operation.

Following her triumphant debut at Olympia, Brooks said: “I was scared enough coming to the ring, but this is fantastic.”
