Chloe Tinson from Barnwell Equestrian Centre in Cubert is competing in the prestigious Horse of the Year Show in Birmingham this week.

After initially qualifying in the amateur section earlier this year, Chloe was disqualified due to an oversight in the rules. However, she successfully requalified just weeks before the event, riding her 18-hand-high liver chestnut heavyweight hunter, Mr Ramsey, affectionately known as Rams.

Chloe, who purchased Rams nearly a year ago, describes their journey together as "lovely" and admits she never thought she’d qualify for both Horse of the Year and the London International. She’s proud of their achievements, noting that Rams has "a massive attitude" and is a "proper showman" in the ring.
