World Horse Welfare Pamela, an 8.3 hand rescued Shetland pony, is set to become the smallest-ever Land Rover Burghley Horse Trials competitor. Supported by equestrian icons with her “star rider” yet to be revealed, the #BurghleyPony’s journey to four-star fame has been documented by a series of behind-the-scenes training videos released in the leadup to the event.
Throughout the summer Pamela has been training hard under the watchful eye of legendary horseman, including Carl Hester in dressage and Mark Todd on cross country.
This week her training continued via a show jumping masterclass with Tim Stockdale, who remarked after the session: “It makes the hair on the back of your neck stand up — the majesty of her jump, the power, the grace … it’s fabulous equine magnificence.”
Yogi Breisner also stepped up with a last-minute pep talk for the horse, taking her tiny nose in his hands as he imparted his wisdom:
We can’t wait to see where all of this is going, and our own Jenni Autry will be at Burghley this week to provide a firsthand report!
Go #BurghleyPony. Go Eventing.
