Anya Dewey Clarke gave a super performance at the 128cm Winter Pony Finals winning both first and second place

At just seven years old, Anya’s showjumping career has got off to a flying start. She was competing in the Springboard 128cm class at the Winter Pony Finals held at South View Equestrian Centre, Cheshire, and certainly proved that she’s one to watch for the future.

There were seven ponies through to the jump off, three of which were Anya’s – an awesome achievement in itself! She was at the top of the leader board from her first ride, Brookhall Pavarotti, and was only knocked off the top spot as she finished her round on her final ride, Mini Mouse II. This meant that Anya picked up both first and second place on her showjumping championship debut, which is an incredible result.

Anya’s love of showjumping began when she was bought her first jumping pony, Fly, during lockdown. It was clear that she had a talent for the sport and soon had three other ponies, Pav, Mini and Rebel, added to her string to help her on her showjumping journey. But Anya’s equestrian talent doesn’t stop at showjumping. She’s also had a huge amount of success in showing competitions and won at prestigious events, such as Horse of the Year Show.

Speaking about her daughter’s fabulous result at the championships, Anna, Anya’s mum, said: “She’s very dedicated and we’re incredibly proud of her. Our objective was to just get round, enjoy it and learn from it, the result is a dream come true. We want to say a big thank you to everyone who’s helped to make this happen.”

With a fantastic team of sponsors behind her already, who have seen that her natural talent is one to be watched, Anya has become a brilliant young rider and is sure to continue to impress us as her showjumping career progresses.
