Well done to George Shaw, his pony Petit Pois and his mum and dad Fiona and Peter for winning the Charles Owen 148cm pony race finals at Cheltenham recently.

It was a great race and a magnificent performance from a pony who was bought as an unbroken five year old last year and has been broken and brought on by the family. Many of you will know George and have raced against Petit Pois in the Devon and Cornwall area last season.
