I would like to thank all those involved in the Hickstead Peugeot Derby for again providing a wonderful spectacle.
May I particularly congratulate those concerned with the dressage event, which often escapes media attention. This year a local girl, Hayley Tennant, did exceptionally well on her horse, Abu Symble.
It takes tremendous guts and determination to compete with some of the best in the world for very little reward or recognition.
Hayley is looking for sponsorship to help her continue participating in this fascinating sport and to raise enough to purchase a horse box, enabling her to travel to events without having to borrow or hire one.
